IntelePeer has developed an "AppworX" open communications platform and voice peering grid network that gives application developers the ability to create high-quality interactive voice, video, SMS, data and other rich media services that boost productivity while reducing telecommunications and operational expenses through the hosted business model. A communications-as-a-service (CaaS) offering, IntelePeer AppworX could be used for increasing collaboration among business application users, fostering closer connections with customers and introducing communications-enabled business processes that drive efficiency and deliver cost savings.


IntelePeer operates its own carrier-grade network carrying more than 6 billion minutes, with worldwide coverage delivered through an IP and TDM peering grid with over 50 leading service provider peering partners.


The financing was led by new investor VantagePoint Venture Partners of San Bruno, California, with participation by existing investors.http://www.intelepeer.com/
