Ribbon and Bandwidth expand partnership to modernize, protect networks

Ribbon Communications Inc., a global provider of real time communications technology and IP optical networking solutions to many of the world’s largest service providers, enterprises, and critical infrastructure operators to modernize and protect their networks, today announced the expansion of its ongoing relationship with Bandwidth, a leading global enterprise cloud communications company.

“Ribbon is an important technology partner for us, and we’re pleased to expand our longtime collaboration, including leveraging their expertise with STIR/SHAKEN compliance in France,” said Scott Mullen, Chief Technology Officer at Bandwidth. “Previous implementations with Ribbon, such as global SBC and PSX deployments, have been instrumental as we scale our enterprise-grade APIs and Bandwidth Communications Cloud around the world. We look forward to our continued engagement.”

Ribbon’s STIR/SHAKEN solution, part of its comprehensive Ribbon Call Trust® portfolio, is designed to fulfill the requirements for caller identity authentication, signing, and verification, as defined by French law as part of the MAN (Mécanisme d’Authentification des Numéros) Project conducted by French telecommunications regulator ARCEP. Bandwidth is also deploying a three-node, geographically redundant Secure Telephony Identity (STI) solution to ensure reliable delivery of the STIR/SHAKEN functions mandated for the French market.

“With projects such as STIR/SHAKEN deployment in France, our strategic relationship with Bandwidth continues to grow, and we look forward to supporting their technology leadership as Bandwidth further executes on its vision to become the partner of choice for global enterprise cloud communications,” said Dennis Murray, Vice President US Service Provider Sales, Ribbon.
