Quiconnect has signed WLAN interconnection agreements with Naxos and METEOR Networks to further broaden hotspot coverage for Sprint's enterprise customers as they travel in France. The deals are effective immediately and add additional high quality footprint to a rapidly expanding Sprint Wi-Fi network which Quiconnect has been building ‘virtually’ for the carrier since April 2005 when it was chosen to extend Sprint's WLAN coverage outside the USA. Quiconnect specialises in providing systems integration and interconnectivity management solutions for telecommunications companies in the wireless broadband sector. It connects discrete commercial IP networks globally into a single worldwide virtual network that is individually branded for its telco customers, manages all billing and clearinghouse services, with automated connection making access simple for users regardless of the network used.

Naxos is a wholly-owned subsidiary of RATP , the world's largest multimodal transport organisation and the independent authority which manages the RER (the Express Regional Network), Metro trains, buses and tramways in Paris and the Ile de France. Using over 300km of Parisian train tunnels to run its physical infrastructure, Naxos is a licensed telecoms operator acting commercially as a 'carriers carrier' - its dark fibre, SDH , Gigabit Ethernet and Wi-Fi network technology is made available to all service providers wishing to provide connectivity in the Paris region. Quiconnect has also signed an agreement with METEOR Networks, the number one independent Wireless Internet Service Provider in France, who's footprint comprises 620 hotspot locations at hotels, restaurants, business and shopping centres and post offices nationwide. The initial deal involves adding Meteor's hotel hotspots to the Quiconnect virtual platform - some 339 sites - at leading chains including Best Western, Inter Hôtel, Exclusive Hôtels, Holiday Inn and Relais de Paris.
