What exactly is your bandwidth and how many users are you talking about? Do you have any servers at the remote locations at all, and if you do could they be virtualized (or are they already)?
If you can answer yes to either flavor of the second question, I'd look at a virtualized WAN accelerator appliance - either Riverbed or Silverpeak. However, be aware that WAN accelerators typically require one at each end of the link - they aren't standalone. A possibly very interesting approach is the Riverbed CX appliance, which can also serve as a VMware host for small loads. A CX appliance at the remote end, and a standard EX appliance (or whatever is best suited) at the corporate end might be just the ticket - and the corporate end would only need one appliance to serve many/most/all of your offices that have a CX or whatever.
