The challenge

Segra is a fiber infrastructure and voice services provider operating across 26 markets. Negotiating interconnection agreements with local carriers and maintaining legacy TDM trunks was slow and costly. Migrating large blocks of numbers while modernizing 911 delivery was a significant undertaking.

The solution

Segra migrated numbers and voice services onto Bandwidth, decommissioning costly TDM trunks and consolidating provisioning through a single provider. Bandwidth handled number hosting, porting, and 911 trunking across Segra's footprint.

Over the course of this service, we have saved at least $50K on the cost of the 911 trunking alone.
