Bandwidth.com Recognized by Inc. Magazine as One of the Fastest Growing Private Telecom Companies in the Nation

CARY, N.C., Aug. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Bandwidth.com, a nationwide provider of complete business communications solutions, today announced that it has been named to Inc. Magazine's 2007 "Inc. 500" list of the fastest-growing private companies in the country. The Cary, North Carolina based company is the only telecom service provider to be honored on both the 2007 and 2006 lists, ranking #201 out of a list of 500 companies selected in 2007. Over the years, Bandwidth.com has emerged as a leader in business-class VoIP, data and network solutions offering hosted and premise-based voice services such as SIP Trunking, data and other telecom products designed specifically for the SMB market. The full list will be published in the September 2007 issue of the magazine.

"It's very exciting to be one of only a handful of businesses who can be considered "Inc. 500 alums" having been ranked 2 consecutive years and serves as great validation for our company. We view our listing as recognition of a unique offering we bring to the telecommunications market -- both through innovative technology and transparency and accountability in our approach to customer service," said Henry Kaestner, CEO of Bandwidth.com. "Historically, the telecommunications market can sometimes be unforgiving to new businesses and technologies and the fact that Bandwidth.com continues to bring on new customers, develop innovative solutions and achieve industry recognition is proof of our track record of consistent growth and sustainability. Over the past few years we have fine tuned our model and believe that we truly offer one of the most robust and customer-centric telecom offerings in the market today. We look forward to continuing to service the SMB market and evolving our product offerings to meet the needs of this exploding space."

Bandwidth.com has established itself as a leading communications provider targeting the small to medium-sized business (SMB) market with voice, data and network services. Over the past several years, Bandwidth.com has emerged as a leader in business-class VoIP solutions offering hosted and premise-based services such as SIP Trunking along with a range of telecom services for SMBs. Over the past year, Bandwidth.com's high-profile channel partnerships, including Mitel, CDW, Allworx and other solution providers, have established the company as primary force in business telecommunications and drawn more awareness to the growing demand for business-class voice and data services in the SMB market. In addition, Bandwidth.com continues to build its VAR program, now working with over 200 resellers nationwide.

"The Inc. 5,000 provides the most comprehensive look ever at the most important part of the economy -- the entrepreneurial part," said Inc. 5,000 Project Manager Jim Melloan. "The expansion of the list has allowed us to tell the stories of larger companies, older companies, and a wealth of companies in industries like Manufacturing and Construction that are underreported in the business media."
