RFP Series: VPN for Broadband SMBs
Rebel.com—continued

ISP Support Programs
Traditionally, ISPs and Telco's are great at delivering bandwidth and it is something that they have become very proficient at. However, increasingly, SMB customers are asking "So, what do I do with this pipe?" and looking at the same ISPs and Telcos for the answer. Key business services, such as e-mail, Web site hosting and VPN, are delivered by the NetWinder while also addressing more basic issues of multi-system Internet access and security. Rebel.com has successfully introduced a bundled concept that leverages the power of NetWinder with Internet bandwidth and also creates an environment that increases customer retention and brand loyalty.

Bell Canada is currently building a service offering for small business that will include high-speed Internet, set-up and configuration, hosted services, monitoring as well as a single point of contact for telephone, mobile and Internet questions. Core to this service is the NetWinder.

"We are excited to be collaborating with Rebel.com to ensure that all businesses, no matter what their size, have access to e-business solutions," said Glenn Ward, Vice-President - Technology Development at Bell Canada. "Rebel.com is a recognized leader in the Internet server appliance space, while Bell Canada is a leading provider of DSL in Canada. The relationship is a perfect one."
