************************************************************

     BSO Network Solutions, the leading Next Generation Operator (network services, integration and hosting) today (October 5)announced  the official opening of its new office in Hong Kong.

     While continuing to show strong growth in France after five years of business operations, the company's entry into the Asia Pacific region marks an important step in its strategy of global expansion and its ambition to meet the international needs of its customers in the transformation challenges they face. The company chose to set up in Hong Kong because of the city's strategic location at the heart of Asia and gateway to Mainland China, its international business environment and its advanced e-enabled infrastructure.

     Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of BSO Network Solutions, Mr Michael Ourabah, said, "The opening of our Hong Kong office is an important step in developing our business in the Asia Pacific region and delivering our global business strategy. With a presence in Asia's key regional business hub and offices in Paris and London, we will be able to offer our existing and new customers network services, hosting and alternative integration on an international scale.กจ

     He added, "Our ground link between London and Hong Kong via undersea cables means we can guarantee a 200-millisecond RTD (Round Trip Delay), 75% faster than conventional services."

     Director-General of Investment Promotion at Invest Hong Kong, Mr Simon Galpin, warmly welcomed the establishment of BSO Network Solutions' office in Hong Kong. He said, "Hong Kong is one of the most advanced cities in telecommunications and network services. As a dynamic international business hub, the city provides a sizable market and well-established infrastructure for network services providers to access the Mainland and Asian market. BSO Network Solutions' cutting-edge technology that enables faster, easier and more effective communications will certainly fulfil the business needs in the high-growth markets of Mainland China and Asia Pacific.กจ
