Bandwidth Inc. operates a cloud-based communications platform that provides voice, messaging and emergency services APIs for enterprises and developers. Through its proprietary network and software-as-a-service model, the company enables customers to integrate programmable voice calls, text messaging and 9-1-1 routing into their applications. Bandwidth’s solutions aim to reduce complexity and improve reliability in mission-critical communications, serving industries such as healthcare, financial services, on-demand mobility and customer engagement.
Founded in 1999 in Raleigh, North Carolina by co-founders David Morken and Henry Kaestner, Bandwidth initially focused on voice-over-IP infrastructure before evolving into a full communications API provider. The company completed its initial public offering in 2017, listing on the NASDAQ under the ticker BAND. In late 2020, Bandwidth expanded its global footprint by acquiring Voxbone, a European provider of origination and termination services, strengthening its ability to deliver voice and messaging services across multiple continents.
Today, Bandwidth serves a diverse client base spanning North America and Europe, operating a private IP network that interconnects with major carriers and public networks. The company’s platform is designed to offer high levels of scalability, security and regulatory compliance, including certification for emergency call routing. Led by co-founder and chief executive officer David Morken, Bandwidth continues to invest in network expansion and API enhancements to support real-time communications needs for businesses worldwide.
