Equant Gives Customers 'Advantage' With Complete Broadband
Solution in the U.S.
Alliance With GoRemote to Meet Increasing Demand for Reliable and Secure
Connectivity Services at Small Branch Offices 


PARIS and MILPITAS, Calif., July 14  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Equant will
provide customers in the U.S. a value-added, cost-effective broadband service
package called "Advantage," based on GoRemote Internet Communications' managed
broadband solutions.

Through this alliance, Equant is teaming with GoRemote, a leading provider of
secure managed broadband network services, to complete its existing Small
Office Solutions portfolio. Equant will provide customers a complete, fully
managed VPN solution for connecting dispersed small branch offices and retail
locations to corporate data centers and networks. Equant sees interest in
broadband services across all sectors, but particularly in retail and
automotive where the desire to connect many small sites in support of supply
chain management and customer relationship management applications is a
critical requirement.

"Our relationship with Equant exemplifies our unified mission to work closely
with our channel partners to deliver product and service excellence to our
growing base of customers worldwide," said Tom Thimot, president and CEO of
GoRemote. "Equant has a global reputation for offering quality products and
services to the most demanding enterprise customers. Through this alliance,
enterprises will be offered a comprehensive and valuable solution that
incorporates Equant's global IP network and GoRemote's managed broadband
network services."

Equant's Small Office Solutions portfolio includes three service packages that
allow customers to pick the global VPN performance and support level they need
at multiple sites. A key benefit of Small Office Solutions is the fully
inclusive package that bundles the router, the access and IP bandwidth
together. Equant consulting services help customers select among the three
service packages and can also provide guidance on related issues such as
security, bandwidth management techniques and total cost of ownership analysis.

-- Advantage is aimed at smaller offices such as retail outlets with up to five
users, has full helpdesk back up and can replace dial-up and VSAT connections
with a higher speed, always-on and fixed-cost solution.

-- Select caters to larger offices such as industrial warehouses or sales
offices with up to 25 users and offers business-class ADSL, service SLAs and
connectivity into the Equant MPLS IP VPN.

-- Premier is aimed at branch offices with up to 50 users and offers SDSL, IP
VPN Gold, and service and performance SLAs covering availability and other
benchmarks. This offering is a replacement for leased line applications.

According to Dennis Kruse, head of VPN Business, Equant:  "This alliance with
GoRemote will enable us to effectively address the requirements of our
customers for connecting smaller sites to their corporate VPN, such as in the
retail and automotive sectors. Equant is now able to give our customers
significantly more choice and value in the U.S."
