About Bandwidth
Bandwidth layers number-intelligence products onto its PSTN-replacement push
Bandwidth is executing on two fronts: methodically completing full PSTN-replacement coverage country by country (Peru, South Africa, each adding emergency and portability services), and building data products on top of the phone number — Number Reputation Management and the new Dynamic Number Intelligence package. Infra modernization, like the Subscriptions v2 event-notification rebuild, rounds out the picture.
