Nexmo Partners with BICS to Deliver Cloud-Based Communication Services with Optimal Voice Quality around the World

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Nexmo, the leading cloud communication company, today announced a strategic partnership with BICS (Belgacom International Carrier Services), a global provider of international connectivity and inter-operability services. The partnership enables Nexmo to provide its growing slate of enterprises and app developer customers with enhanced and upgraded mobile voice quality, connectivity and termination services to regions in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) where BICS provides direct voice reach. As a result of this partnership, Nexmo is expanding its international leadership and competitive edge in voice quality.

BICS is one of the largest voice telecom carriers in the world, and delivers best-in-class international wholesale solutions to communication service providers globally.

"In today's complex mobile communications market, it is essential that enterprise customers and cloud providers alike have accessibility to direct, high quality voice connectivity with global reach," said BICS Vice President of Sales, Americas and OTT, Brian Troesch. "In partnering with Nexmo, we are providing their customers with leading voice connectivity and termination services that will increase the value of Nexmo's overall industry advantage."

Nexmo's cloud-to-mobile solutions provide comprehensive cloud APIs enabling app developers, online providers and enterprises to reach customers and devices in any geography around the world via innovative mobile text-messaging and voice experiences. Nexmo enables companies to replace rigid and costly interfaces to telecom infrastructure with a new generation of cloud communication that is delivered as a service. Nexmo's comprehensive set of REST Cloud APIs are programming language agnostic, easy-to-use, and provide increased agility and shorter time-to-market.

"Nexmo always strives to work with the top-tier companies in the communication industry," said David Vigar, Director of Carrier Relations at Nexmo.
