History

In 2000, France Télécom acquired a majority stake of 54% by merging its Global One unit with Equant. In 2005, France Télécom made a bid for all outstanding Equant stock and thus fully acquired it. Prior to the acquisition by France Télécom, Equant was part of the SITA group of companies which provided network services to the air transport industry.
