Unwrapping presents has always been fun for me. I can’t resist the big boxes, colorful ribbons, and beautifully decorated gifts. It’s not just the packaging that lures me in, but rather the element of surprise. It’s the excitement that comes from the anticipation, and then the pure exhilaration when I discover what is underneath the covers.

A couple of weeks ago at the Comptel Conference in San Francisco, Bandwidth unveiled a whole new look, and new software products. From outside the room at Comptel, one couldn’t really tell what was up. However, the hashtag #getsome definitely piqued people’s curiosity and they couldn’t wait to take a look inside.

Our awesome team

Once people stepped into our room, their eyes lit up.

“Wow, your booth is awesome”

“This doesn’t look like the old Bandwidth”

And you know what, we are not the same old boring telecommunications carrier.

Bandwidth is pivoting to being a software provider. One that makes it easy to add communications to any app.

Think of how many times a day the average person engages with an app on their phone or an application at work that involves communicating. Tons! We are the company that provides the APIs that allow businesses to integrate calling and texting quickly and seamlessly.

The room was buzzing with action the entire 2 days that we spent at Comptel. We had great discussions with our current and future customers. With their invaluable insight, they are helping lead the path for our future strategy.

All of us could not be more excited about what tomorrow will bring. Keep an eye on us!
