15 Sep, 2021
Enables Zoom enterprise customers to choose Bandwidth’s global software-driven network in a BYOC (Bring Your Own Carrier) strategy for greater flexibility, scale and simplicity RALEIGH, NC - September 15, 2021 - Bandwidth Inc. (NASDAQ: BAND), a leading global enterprise communications platform and cloud-native carrier, today announced it will be a charter member of Zoom’s new Zoom Phone Provider Exchange as an enhanced cloud peering collaborator.
The program allows Zoom’s enterprise customers to “Bring Your Own Carrier” (BYOC), which unbundles telephony from Zoom’s UCaaS platform and Zoom Phone, and work directly with Bandwidth for SIP trunking and emergency services across Bandwidth’s global software-driven network.
Zoom Phone Provider Exchange enables large enterprise customers to unbundle telephony and work directly with Bandwidth.
“Bandwidth is an important partner in our strategy to empower customers with more choice and flexibility to meet their needs as they migrate to the cloud with Zoom,” said Josh Stanley, Zoom Phone Strategic Programs Leader. “Zoom has scaled with Bandwidth as a key network platform from the beginning, and now the global reach and reliability of their software-driven network can help our customers scale in this new program.” Bandwidth’s participation in the Zoom Phone Provider Exchange program as an enhanced cloud peering collaborator is yet another example of how Bandwidth is providing BYOC solutions to enterprise customers to increase scalability and flexibility in the move to the cloud.
