Bandwidth has announced a bring-your-own-carrier offering for RingCentral.
The firm’s Duet solution will now be available for RingCentral’s Message Video Phone (MVP) platform, which it says will accelerate enterprises' migration from legacy, on-prem voice to the cloud.
Bandwidth said the offering will give improved flexibility to Fortune 2000 companies by letting them unbundle telephony from UCaaS platforms.
John Bell, Chief Product Officer at Bandwidth, said: “Compounding the unique challenges large organizations face migrating and modernizing their communications stack, is the equally important driver to facilitate global communications at scale.
“Bandwidth’s BYOC solution for RingCentral will not only simplify the move to the cloud but also aims to deliver a single pane of glass to global organisations as they look to centralize communications and realize greater operational efficiencies"
“The combination of these two, cloud-native, global powerhouses will make it easier than ever before for our shared customers and prospects in the large enterprise space to modernize their communications.”
Duet, which already has an offering for Teams, uses Bandwidth’s open cloud communications platform for real-time access to phone numbers around the world, carrier-grade SIP trunking, business text messaging and emergency services.
