 PROFILE
From Amsterdam to Atlanta and around the world, it's nothin' but net for Equant's multinational corporate customers. The data network operator expanded in 2001 by buying France Telecom's Global One data network unit; at the same time, France Telecom bought airline cooperative SITA's stake in Equant. Equant's network, which spans 220 countries and territories, supports IP (Internet protocol) services, and Equant is adding ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) and frame relay technologies. Services include LAN-to-LAN interconnections, WAN connectivity, dedicated Internet access, and Web hosting. Equant, which was created by SITA to help air carriers share information, is 54%-owned by France Telecom.
