Using Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and a 100% Cisco network, Cbeyond delivers to small business customers (an entrepreneurial class of customer with 4-200 employees - generally using 4-48 phone lines) an integrated package of high quality local and long distance telephony services, high-speed, T-1 Internet access and Internet-based applications for about the same price that small businesses typically pay for local and long distance phone service alone.

Cbeyond uses a private IP network and softswitch technology to deliver high quality, affordable communications services. The company is a peer to the local phone company and support the primary line telephone services: E911, operator services, line features such as Call Waiting, Caller ID with Name, Three-Way Calling, Call Forward, etc. And unlike many VoIP companies who use the Public Internet to transport voice calls, where quality is "best efforts" and highly dependent on their broadband Internet connection, voice calls with Cbeyond travel over a dedicated IP connection and never touch the Public Internet; allowing Cbeyond to manage the Quality of Service and achieve 99.999% availability.

Designed with small businesses in mind, Cbeyond offers flexible services and fully-loaded packages that meet SMB needs. The BeyondVoice I, II, or III packages integrate high-speed T-1 internet access, local and long distance voice service, toll-free numbers, mobile and more— delivering all SMB communication needs on a single bill.

Mission: To deliver "big business" communications services to small business customers at prices they can afford and that we can deliver profitably.

Values: Delivering on our promises - to our customers and our communities.
