Equant and China Netcom Implement IP VPNs

Equant and China Netcom have implemented an IP VPN with converged data and voice in China for APL, one of the world's largest container transportation companies. The cross-carrier IP VPN for APL includes 24 sites in China, eight of which are voice-activated. In addition to APL, Equant currently serves more than 100 customers with 500 connections in China. APL was one of the first customers to select Equant IP VPN service in China after Equant and China Netcom announced a strategic partnership in 2001. The Equant-CNC network is identical in features, including resiliency, with the standard Equant network topology. This allows the customer to have the same visibility into its network in China as it does for all its IP VPN locations around the world.


Altogether, APL currently has 113 sites in 30 countries with Equant IP VPN connections. A total of 33 sites also have Equant Voice for IP VPN, and five locations have Equant IP Telephony for desktop-to-desktop calling.
