FreedomPop Partners with Bandwidth to Offer Better IP Service

A few decades ago, fixed lines were the only way to communicate with others. This required elaborate infrastructure within the house, little flexibility and took a few days for a technician to set it up. Today, all this has changed with the evolution of IP and mobile phones. While fixed line PSTNs are still being used, the growth of IP phones has been enormous. Also, the IP phone industry has opened up a lot of opportunities for innovation and this has led companies to create different products that make it easy to use and manage communication from any part of the world. Moreover, many companies in this industry are collaborating with each other to offer more customized options for customers.

The latest in this kind of collaboration is the partnership entered between FreedomPop and Bandwidth. FreedomPop is a wireless Internet provider delivering 4G connectivity at low costs while Bandwidth offers the infrastructure in the form of Managed Platform Services to support the needs of the customers. The coming together of both these companies is likely to improve the speed of activation for customers and to offer a better quality of service.

Bandwidth's managed platform services gives FreedomPop the opportunity to automate its service and to access cloud-based technologies on a demand basis. Also, FreedomPop's customers can use its online portal to activate phone numbers real-time. This service is crucial to stay on top of competition that is heating up in the world of mobile connectivity. Further, Bandwidth's services make it possible for FeedomPop to access and provision phone numbers within a short time and at low rates.

As for Bandwidth, this partnership helps them to build their image of supporting innovators in the IP and mobile world. Moreover, it gives Bandwidth a stronger foothold in the voice and messaging services market.
