Cloud telephony has experienced major growth in the enterprise space over the past 18 months. In addition to improved scalability, cloud PBX systems offer enhanced security, better integration, and access to advanced features when compared to traditional phone lines.

Seamlessly integrating public switched telephone network (PSTN) services within a cloud PBX environment significantly reduces the complexity and workload of working with multiple vendors to establish voice services supporting an enterprise. Inteliquent solves this problem by being one of the few providers capable of integrating this critical functionality with Webex Calling.

Through Inteliquent, Webex users will gain access to the following functionality:  

• Local and toll-free numbers
• Global outbound coverage
• Enhanced Inbound Caller ID and Caller Name (CNAM) delivery
• Outbound CNAM support
• Robocall mitigation with STIR/SHAKEN support
• Emergency services
• Directory listings
