SINGAPORE, April 16 /PRNewswire/ --

- Performance Monitoring Now Includes SingTel Partners' Network

- Convenient Access to Network Performance via Online Portal

Singapore Telecommunications Limited (SingTel) announced today the launch
of the Global Delivery Platform (GDP). It is the first managed Internet
Protocol Virtual Private Network (IP VPN) platform in the world to provide
full end-to-end network performance monitoring for corporate data services
across multiple partners' networks.

With GDP, customers can now have comprehensive network performance
assurances and faster fault restoration. In addition, they enjoy convenient
round-the-clock access to real-time network performance statistics via an
online portal provided by SingTel.

SingTel's GDP offers customers superior end-to-end network visibility
into many Asian, US and European cities. This is possible through SingTel's
ConnectPlus IP VPN network's interconnections with more than fifteen leading
IP VPN service providers around the globe. GDP coverage will be progressively
extended to include more cities globally, especially to hard-to-reach Asian
locations.

Mr Bill Chang, SingTel's Executive Vice President of Business, said:
"This is a significant milestone in SingTel's efforts to build a global IP
VPN solution with a key focus in Asia. IP VPN is becoming the convergence
platform of choice for the delivery of global carrier grade services. The
ability to monitor the performance of the entire network, including our
partners' infrastructure, is a breakthrough. And this is possible through our
close relationships with strategic partners worldwide. It provides customers
with peace of mind, boosting their confidence in their network and our
services.

"Most service providers today deploy IP nodes only in a few 'gateway
cities' in a country and do not provide network visibility beyond these
locations. SingTel GDP provides in-depth access like never before with
coverage that includes lesser known cities. This is extremely useful for
customers that have businesses in multiple cities within a large country."

"SingTel is well-positioned to be the preferred telecommunications
partner for companies looking to quickly expand their businesses in Asia and
beyond," he added.

SingTel ConnectPlus IP VPN is the platform for the delivery of SingTel
Managed Services. Businesses enjoy the benefits of voice, video and data
convergence delivered over a unified network. They can also access a
comprehensive suite of fully managed services that are designed to meet their
end-to-end communication and IT needs.
