CARY, N.C., March 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- inetwork, a division of Bandwidth whose nationwide voice, SMS and 9-1-1 network powers services like Google Voice, Skype, Pinger and Bandwidth's own republic wireless, today announced record revenue growth of over 45 percent in 2011.  In addition, the company grew its numbers in service by over 40 percent and total minutes served by over 70 percent in 2011.  Growth was fueled by the addition of companies including 8x8 and Tropo to its customer base.  The company expects similar results in 2012, in support of the growing demand for voice and SMS services from over-the-top (OTT) application providers and the developer community.
