Bring-your-own-carrier with Bandwidth's Maestro™ platform gives enterprises more freedom of choice along with better quality, control, cost savings

RALEIGH, N.C., Sept. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- At its Reverb24 global livestream today, Bandwidth Inc. (NASDAQ: BAND), a leading global enterprise cloud communications company, announced it now offers the largest ecosystem of bring-your-own-carrier (BYOC) integrations of any provider in the world–giving enterprises more ways to solve complex communications challenges.

With Bandwidth BYOC, enterprises can choose from a long list of best-in-class technology leaders to simplify, de-risk and accelerate better customer and employee experiences.

"Bandwidth provides unprecedented freedom of choice to enterprise CIOs and their IT teams to utilize the platforms that best fit their business needs," said John Bell, Bandwidth's Chief Product Officer. "We are proud to partner with a long list of best-in-class technology leaders to simplify, de-risk and accelerate better customer and employee experiences."

BYOC programs unbundle the telephony component from software-as-a-service platforms, giving enterprises additional functionality, increased quality and flexibility, reduced costs and improved overall control. By choosing Bandwidth as their BYOC provider, enterprises gain a cloud-native network with access to the most direct-to-carrier integrations for BYOC, along with the simplicity of using a single partner to cover the globe. This enables enterprises to easily integrate their entire comms stack while replacing legacy telecom carriers and most on-premises equipment. It also speeds and simplifies future cloud-to-cloud migrations within the Bandwidth ecosystem.

Bandwidth's BYOC options are integrated with the company's award-winning Maestro next-generation communications platform. Maestro enables enterprises to accelerate IT development time from months to hours and easily orchestrate complex call flows using Bandwidth's Visual Builder, which is a software-based drag-and-drop call routing designer.
