108  Q-Free has received an order, valued at approximately US$26.5 million, from  the Portuguese road operator Ascendi for a major infrastructure project  in Portugal. The contract comprises supply of multi-lane free-flow  tolling stations and operational back office for the concessions Beiras  Litoral e Alta and Interior Norte. This contract follows a successful  implementation of a similar tolling system during 2009 for the same  client.
 Ascendi currently operates seven concessions and is responsible for more than 1,300 kms of motorways and roads in Portugal.
 "The  Portuguese market continues to be important for the company, and we are  specifically pleased that we once again have been selected as Ascendi's  partner for advanced fully automated tolling systems," Øyvind Isaksen,  Q-Free CEO commented.
