About GTT

LONDON and MCLEAN, Va., September 13, 2007 – Global Telecom & Technology, Inc. (“GTT”), (OTCBB: GTLT), a global Multi-Network Operator (MNO), announced today that Expro International Group PLC (EXR.L) has selected GTT to provide connectivity solutions to several of its offices in Nigeria and Angola. 

The multi-year contract calls for GTT to provide an integrated telecom solution designed around satellite-based Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) technology. The office locations serviced by the contract are in remote parts of Africa that lack viable fixed-line telecommunication solutions. Expro, a leading global oilfield service company, has over 4,000 employees located in more than 50 countries worldwide. 

“What attracted us to GTT was its business model,” said Martin Ogden, Group IT head of infrastructure and operations support, Expro. “GTT is not fixed to any one carrier or any one service provider, which enables it to source bandwidth and network connectivity from the most appropriate carrier in order to obtain the best possible deal for its customers.” 

GTT’s customized network solution will provide Expro’s Nigerian and Angolan staff offices with the same direct access to all core systems and services available to other Expro sites, as well as full connectivity to all corporate servers and applications. In addition to new and unique connectivity into the region, GTT also streamlined the implementation process by providing a full turn-key offering which included procurement of the satellite equipment on Expro’s behalf. 

Commenting on its ability to provide such a unique end-to-end solution, Richard D. Calder, Jr., president and CEO, GTT, said, “GTT has significant knowledge and expertise in delivering services into remote regions around the world, including Africa. We have focused on managing strong working relationships with satellite service providers and local incumbent telcos to ensure effective service provisioning and management. This is a core capability for GTT. For Expro, we were able to offer a true turn-key solution – from designing and provisioning the network, to procuring and deploying the equipment, to maintaining and supporting ongoing service. This turn-key service combined with a single service level agreement is a key differentiator for GTT.”
