Core180 Launches Carrier Connect Program To Seamlessly Link Domestic and International Network Providers

Several Carriers Including PacketExchange and Tinet have Already Joined the
Program

FAIRFAX, Va. & HOBOKEN, N.J.--(Business Wire)--
Core180, a leading telecommunications network integrator and pioneer of the
Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) model, announced today the launch of a new Carrier
Connect Program that will enable both domestic and international carriers to
integrate networks quickly and seamlessly on a worldwide basis.

The NaaS-based program makes it easy for carriers to increase sales
opportunities outside of their traditional markets. Members can leverage the
program to expand their footprint while reducing upfront capital investment and
decreasing the need for additional employees to administer remote facilities and
service providers.

"Companies are drastically changing the way they conduct business globally and
networks need to keep up with this change," said David Baule, CEO of Core180.
"The Carrier Connect Program helps carriers buy, deploy and manage network
services in days or weeks, instead of the typical months, in order to keep up
with these changing business demands."

The Core180 program is "carrier agnostic" (not aligned with one specific
carrier) so service providers can buy the best service for their needs at the
best prices. Members of the program have the ability to purchase bandwidth from
Core180 at discounted rates which include enhanced circuit management and
monitoring capabilities. They can also purchase the capacity directly from
another member carrier, with Core180 facilitating the procurement process by
making introductions and providing both parties the right points of contact
within each organization.

"PacketExchange is delighted to join Carrier Connect as a charter member," says
Chuck Stormon CMO and VP for PacketExchange. "As a provider of International
Ethernet service, we see Carrier Connect as an opportunity to offer customers
end-to-end solutions in seamless collaboration with other regional and
International carriers."

Core180 provides international network hubs in Los Angeles, New York and Miami
and can assist with cross connects at the facilities. Carriers can also take
advantage of optional distribution services within the U.S. by using Core180`s
network and platform. More information on the program can be found at:

"Tinet is delighted to support the Core180 business model as we share the same
passion for innovation and specialization on international connectivity
services," says Maria Grazia Angei, Marketing Communications Manager for Tinet.

Several carriers have already joined the program including:

* Intellifiber Networks
* Interoute
* Network Innovations
* PacketExchange
* Pacnet
* Tinet
