Viper Networks Demonstrates Strong Growth in Release of Annual Report
TROY, Mich., March 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Viper Networks (OTCPK: VPER) released its Annual Report today, showing strong revenue growth, substantially improved cash flow, and positive EBITDA (non-GAAP) in the 4th quarter of 2024.
Substantial milestones for the year include:
The company closed on the acquisition of the telecommunications assets of Hammer Fiber Optics Holdings Corp – 0Wire Communications, LLC (formerly 1stPoint Communications, LLC) and its subsidiaries and Endstream Communications, LLC – in exchange for 2,500,000 shares of HMMR common stock. The HMMR common stock was obtained in a Share Exchange Agreement with two related parties in exchange for the company’s Series B preferred stock.
During the year the company completed the deployment of 108 smart poles and their Apollo smart lights in the capital city of Colombo, Sri Lanka. The project was a pilot for future projects which are currently in the design phase.
The company progressed in its proposed pilot project to deploy smart poles in the Chicago greater metro area, and expects to finalize the project in the coming quarters.
The company also progressed in its deployment in the Eastern Caribbean, with the first deployment expected in the third quarter of 2025.
The Board of Directors approved the conversion of $419,340 in notes payable to related parties to Series B preferred stock and the conversion of $225,000 in accrued salaries of related parties to Series B preferred stock, substantially improving the company’s balance sheet.
All responsibility for the accounting and financial operations of the company have been assumed by the accounting and management staff of 0Wire Communications. The management and operations of the company improved substantially, with the addition of a new Chief Executive Officer, Chief Administrative Officer and Secretary along with several other key senior management positions.
The company began its strategic rebranding effort. 0Wire was selected because of its alignment with the company’s Everything Wireless: Telecommunications+Energy strategy.
Financial milestones include:
Annual revenue increased to $936,597 in 2024, from $30,600 for the same period in the prior year. Annual revenue included only two months of operations of 0Wire Communications and Endstream Communications.
The telecommunications business unit reported $770,000 in revenue during the period from August 1, 2024 to October 31, 2024 prior to the acquisition by Viper. The business unit generated in excess of $818,000 in revenue in just two months in November and December, a 37.2% increase in gross revenue as reported on a quarterly basis.
Operating loss increased marginally to $536,359 from $517,110 in the prior period. $347,340.10 of the SG&A expenses were accrued in the first three quarters of 2024 by Viper, compared with only $17,462 in the final two months of the year. The decrease in SG&A was due to the reduction in accrued salary expenses, contract expenses and accounting expenses caused by the substantial synergies achieved in the acquisition of 0Wire Communications.
Net loss decreased to $319,085 from a loss of $820,933 in the prior year. The entirety of the loss was accrued during the first ten months of the period. Operations were both EBITDA and cash flow positive for the last two months of the year.
Total assets increased to $2.978 million, while total liabilities increased to only $1.621 million, compared with $.267 million in assets and $.527 million in liabilities at the end of the prior period.
“2024 was a transformative year for Viper. We are making progress across all of the business practices in our Everything Wireless strategy. Our Over-the-Top business continued to grow substantially in both our messaging and voice businesses, driven by our unique set of licenses,” said Erik Levitt, the company’s CEO. “We will continue to invest in and develop our fixed wireless, mobility, smart city and energy generation projects. We see the development of a ubiquitous platform for the sustainable global deployment of 5G as a key objective in developing markets.”
“The Board of Directors is very excited about our direction, management and growth in our operations,” said Farid Shouekani, Viper’s Chairman and President. “Our management team has the talent, energy and contacts to pursue our aggressive strategy. We are seeing strong results from operations in our first quarter of 2025. Investors can expect announcements about our mobility and smart city sectors in the coming quarters,” added Shouekani.

Everything else? I think it's just "everything". Although, I would be inclined to believe the recent PR from the new CEO which seems to knock Viper down to the bottom of the list of things they are wanting to do. I just don't see Viper's operations being a part of Ow ire for very long.
TROY, Mich., Jan. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Viper Networks (OTCPK: VPER) announced the beginning of its strategic rebranding effort. Among other corporate actions, Viper and its subsidiaries will adopt the name 0Wire (pronounced “Zero-Wire”). The assets of 1stPoint Communications will be split into two strategic operating companies. The existing entity will be renamed 0Wire Communications and operate the company’s key telecommunications assets in both the United States and the Eastern Caribbean. A new entity, 0Wire Hosting, will operate the company’s technology hosting portfolio. 0Wire Wholesale, a new subsidiary, will refocus the company’s wholesale services on newer and higher growth opportunities such as 5G roaming and messaging, while continuing to develop the wholesale voice market. Additional subsidiaries, operated as 0Wire Energy, will address smart city and renewable energy projects in the United States and Sri Lanka.
“We have undertaken this rebranding effort in order to better align with the company’s Everything Wireless Telecom+Energy strategy,” said Erik Levitt, the company’s CEO. The Everything Wireless strategy consists of five key pillars: Over-the-Top Technologies (“OTT”), Mobility, Fixed Wireless, Smart City and Renewable Energy Generation. “We continue to see very strong growth in our OTT business and there is industry-wide recognition that we are a leader in the messaging market. We will continue to develop these technologies while we shift longer-term investment toward mobility and fixed wireless,” said Levitt.
During the last fiscal year the company completed the deployment of 108 smart poles and Apollo smart lights in the capital city of Sri Lanka, Colombo. The initial deployment was a pilot project for future, larger, and more complex installations. “Management is now evaluating follow-on projects with key constituents in the market,” said Farid Shouekani, the company’s Chairman. “We look forward to growing the recognition of the 0Wire brand as a market leader in smart city deployment,” added Shouekani.
Management elected to begin the rebranding effort with the telecommunications division because of its strategic importance as well as the lack of a need for regulatory approvals. “Due to regulatory requirements, certain corporate actions, such as name changes, can take several months to complete. We hope to complete the process at the corporate level during the next three quarters,” added Levitt. Management anticipates that this process will proceed alongside the company’s audit of its financial statements.
Further information on the rebranding effort will be forthcoming in the company’s annual filings as well as future press releases.
Nearly 4 years and not a single pole?
TROY, Mich., Aug. 13, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Viper Networks, Inc. (OTC Pink: VPER), an international leader in the LED Street Lights products and integrated Smart City solutions, is pleased to announce that it has reached a final 20-year agreement with a consortium of 21 cities throughout suburban Chicago, Illinois; to build and operate a variety of smart city projects.
First week of June. Too bad they didn't say what year. I can't wait for the Cybergrab news! What an exciting and innovative idea!
Regarding the exciting 21 Cities Project in Southwest Cook County in Greater Chicago, the Company recently finalized their new pole design, which was at 3rd party engineering for and received Professional Engineers (PE) approval. This will kick start manufacturing. The Company will ship the first 2 samples shortly and should be on site for installation in the Chicago area by the first week of June; with large quantities for quick replacement slated to commence thereafter.
In other news, the Company will provide an announcement update shortly for their San Francisco-based Cybergrab technology platform deployment.
What an amazing company.

I realized when I got home that night that I had stated (180) by mistake, when it was actually (108) stated.
I also went back and re- read the info on the website: "Viper offers multiple pole designs, including the slim line, high strength, elegant poles depicted above. The strongest structures can exceed 30 meters in height and accommodate up to three tenant mobile network operators on a single pole and include a large base capable of housing carrier edge equipment."
I originally had in my head that the Sri Lanka poles were 30m, they look more like 10m in the photos.
The estimates of 35-45k were, guestimates on my end from what I was looking at. I still believe they're in excess of $6k a piece even @ 10m tall (if Viper even supplies them).
Regardless; we're finally seeing some activities, and news releases, updates to websites and info regarding the management who are now in control. this is much more than we had for the past (3) years.
Hopefully, this gets some attention and we can get back to trading.

"The big issue is if, or how, the share structure will be re-arranged (if at all) for the current shareholders."
THAT is the big issue?
No revenue, steady stream of BS, constant discrepancies on their financials, and 72 million in debt, and the share structure is "the big issue"? That's the way VPER has been able to operate the way it has for so long. Need something? Just issue some shares. If the creditor won't take common, then A or B will work.
I think you'll at least get your wish when the reverse split happens. 1000:1 seems a little aggressive, but if the preferreds are going to be immune, then that gives them a lot of room to work. It's a good possibility that the preferreds get split, then VPER immediately issues shares for at least a chunk of that debt. May be common, may be preferred. 100:1 isn't enough. 500:1 is possible, but they might as well rip the bandaid off.
I think the "immediate project" in Saudi Arabia was maybe to put up a pole or get some sort of demo in place for whoever the partner was over there. And that is being generous. There is the possibility that nothing happened at all. Financials more or less support that. History of PRs that are never mentioned again supports that as well.
What an amazing company.
