The Customers
GE Capital Brasil relies on Diveo service for first-mile back-up access of major credit card networks it manages for large Brazilian companies.

Diveo already has service gateways with local, national and international service providers such as Embratel, GlobalOne, MetroRed and Netstream to provide corporate end user access to virtual private networks as well as Internet access.
Embratel selected Diveo to fulfill its need to offer superior metropolitan local access to its corporate customers.
