Onvoy LLC (Booth 307) has announced
the acquisition of Layered Communica-
tions, a communications enabler for over-the-
top (OTT) providers, voice service providers and
mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs).
“The Layered Communications acquisition
accelerates Onvoy’s ability to offer wholesale
customers an API-based service fulfillment and
instant provisioning interface for Onvoy’s carrier
class service,” said Fritz Hendricks, Onvoy’s
president. “Layered Communication’s service-
creation platform provides immediate access
to the fast-growing wireless and OTT markets,
while providing a Web-based framework for
continuous innovation.”
.With the addition of Boulder, Colo.-based
Layered’s portfolio, Onvoy’s customers will soon be
able to add voice, messaging and mobility services
to their communication applications more quickly
via APIs and carrier interfaces.
“Onvoy has been a great partner of ours for many
years, and we are excited to join the team to help
drive innovation, enhance self-service options and
open newmarkets for our customers,” said Michael
Remacle, Layered Communications’ CEO.
Layered Communications also brings Coreview to
the table, aWeb-based portal built on the LayeredOSS
APIs. And, its API-based services support rapid deploy-
ment of mobility, mobileVoIP andmessaging services.
These interfaces enable customers to build,
provision and support more innovative commu-
nication services without adding equipment or
support staff – which means faster speed to market
and higher margins, the company said.
“API-based platforms providing control of the core
communications infrastructure for voice, messaging
andmobility are essential for our customers to inno-
vate today and tomorrow,”said Surendra Saboo,
Onvoy executive vice president and COO.
