Our Story
We are proud to have helped shape the world of telecommunication and of our heritage in voice innovation. One part of our story begins nearly forty years ago with a local Minnesota telco consortium which eventually merged with Minnesota Regional Networks (MRNet) in 1997 to form Onvoy, Inc. Onvoy quickly grew as a leader in communications enablement solutions including inbound voice, long distance, tandem, SS7, and voice peering delivered over a carrier-grade network.
A few years later Neutral Tandem incorporated in Delaware on the 19th of April in 2001. The company believed in interconnectedness and sought to elevate the landscape of voice technology by providing more capacity and a clearer signal. Over the years, Neutral Tandem transitioned into Inteliquent with the sole focus of innovating inbound and outbound voice services.
In 2007, Onvoy was acquired by Zayo Group and then spun out of Zayo in 2014 after acquiring Vitelity, LLC. Onvoy, LLC continued major growth acceleration acquiring Broadvox and Layered Communications in 2015, followed by ANPI in 2016, all with the goal of expanding the network-based communication enablement platform.
GTCR, the PE firm which owns Onvoy, LLC, acquired Inteliquent in early 2017 and merged the two companies under the Inteliquent brand. The “new” Inteliquent is equipped to provide customers with a superior network experience through industry-leading voice quality, a reliable and expansive network footprint, and advanced features – all supported by a team of market experts. More than 70 percent of Inteliquent’s traffic is managed on-net, and the network carries more than 22+ Billion voice minutes a month. Additionally, Inteliquent’s portals and APIs allow customers to manage services whenever and wherever they are needed with intuitive interfaces and rich features.
