Its clients include Fortune 500 companies, mobile network operators, mobile virtual network operators, interexchange carriers and America’s competitive local exchange carriers and VoIP Service providers.

Infobip’s (News - Alert) clients will access the U.S. market through Peerless Network, whose nationwide voice network covers 98% of Americans across 49 states.

The acquisition created an end-to-end solution for omnichannel communications and empowers businesses with SaaS (News - Alert)-enabled CPaaS software. Combined, the two businesses process more than 30 billion monthly customer interactions across the full range of communication channels, in more than 190 countries.
