MONTREAL, Feb. 8 /CNW Telbec/ - Mitec Telecom Inc. ("Mitec") (TSX: MTM), a leading designer and manufacturer of mobile wireless, fixed wireless, broadcast and satellite components, announced today it has repaid the balance of a $500,000 Term Loan facility arranged in October 2010.

"As a direct consequence, Mitec was able to achieve its objectives and subsequently implement a strategy - which is ongoing today - to streamline its operations and separate its various product lines with the objective of unlocking shareholder value."
