pWhat does IntelePeer do that all the other I can make a phone call within a web app companies don’t? Whatever it is, it seems to be worth $18 million in third round venture money lead by Vantage Point./p
pAccording to Venture Beat, IntelePeer is sorta like Ribbit.nbsp;The company has its AppworX open communications platform and a voice peering grid network (OK, Ribbit didn’t have a voice peering grid, me thinks) so app developers have the ability to create rich media services while using IntelePeer’s hosted services to save money.nbsp;/p
pIntelePeer is calling its offering a CaaS - Communications as a Service.nbsp; Customers get to tap into the combo of Web 2.0 and Voice 2.0 capabilities on top of the company’s carrier-grade telecommunications voice peering network, and there’s a network peering grid infrastructure that reportedly handles billions of voice minutes per year and has direct connections with more 50 service providers around the globe./p
pDon’t think Ribbit had the whole voice grid peering thing going…/p
pAnyway, IntelePeer claims Microsoft, WebEx, BT, ATamp;T, Verizon, Facebook and TMCnet as customers, with the main hook so far being a click-to-call feature within various web apps./p
pFormerly named VoEx, other investors include EDF Ventures, Kennet Venture Partners, and NorthCap Partners./p
