You can now integrate 1500+ applications with SignalWire’s advanced texting and calling capabilities using Zapier with no coding required...at all.

SignalWire, Inc., the Original Geeks of software-defined telecom and creators of a revolutionary cloud communications platform, announced today that David Duffett will be joining the company as Worldwide Community Advocate. In this role, Duffett will be responsible for ensuring the success of developers utilizing SignalWire technology and guiding this community through the transition to cloud-based services that is reshaping the industry.

In this blog post, David Duffett explains how to connect your SignalWire Space to an Asterisk installation for use as a SIP trunk.

My name is Shane Bryldt, and I have been a software engineer for over 20 years. I am proud to currently be a Senior Software Engineer for SignalWire. Starting with this article, I will be explaining what SignalWire can do, providing examples, and diving into the APIs and features of the platform. I’m also going to be offering my personal engineering insight and ideas on how you can leverage some of the more obscure options you can set.

In this blog post we will help you get familiarized with your SignalWire Space so that you can immediately start developing and unleash the power of SignalWire.

SignalWire, Inc., the original geeks of software-defined telecom and primary sponsors of the FreeSWITCH open-source platform, announced today that the project’s code is now officially hosted on SignalWire’s Github repository.

RELAY is a suite of APIs exposed via our software development kits that you can download and integrate instantly. It provides an easy, secure, and scalable way to do things like send SMS, make phone calls, start video chats and programmatically interact with all SignalWire services.

In the last 20 years we've made amazing strides in the digital transformation of many things.  One of the last frontiers to be fully realized is the telecommunications industry.  The founders of SignalWire started on this journey even before the company started by laying the groundwork for the technology going back to 2005.

Wireless carriers are cracking down on commercial use of P2P channels, but SignalWire can help set you up with A2P solutions to ensure higher throughput and deliverability.

SignalWire now enables existing dedicated short codes on our network and will guide our customers in leasing new short codes for use with our services. The power of SignalWire’s APIs can now be coupled with the reliability of short code based A2P messaging, meaning maximum throughput and high deliverability on messaging campaigns.

In order to smooth the transition to our advanced cloud platform, we've developed a backward-compatible language that easily allows coders to switch from Twilio to SignalWire: LāML ;) - Legacy Antiquated Markup Language. With LāML, anyone can convert their existing TwiML projects in a matter of seconds.

We've laid out a sample application and few examples of how SignalWire mobile Software Development Kits and APIs are being used for communications in business.

SignalWire, Inc., the Original Geeks of software-defined telecommunications and developers of the number one open-source enterprise communication platform, FreeSWITCH®, today announced the closing of an $11.5 million series A funding round.

In this blog post, we will discuss how to: Configure your SignalWire phone number, Configure Voice settings, Configure Messaging settings, Create and receive voice calls to and from the PSTN, Create and receive voice calls to and from different browsers, an Create and receive video calls to and from different browsers.

Today, we will dive into the Node.js code and demonstrate how to install, test, and run the code locally.

We are very excited to share with all of our customers the new RELAY for Web Browser Library. This new library from SignalWire will enable voice and video calls between endpoints on the SignalWire network and the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network).

In this three-part series, we will discuss the benefits of setting up your own cloud communications system and take you through a demo system we built on SignalWire to show you exactly how to build it yourself.

Q1 2019 was a banner quarter with a great many new customers finding value in what SignalWire is helping them build. We shipped several new features previously posted on the product blog

Several US Carriers are preparing to launch new A2P (Application-to-Person) 10DLC (10-Digit Long Code) products in May 2019.

We are proudly supporting industry standard WebRTC SIP over WebSockets. This means you can use off-the-shelf JS libraries + SIP to connect SignalWire services.

RELAY is the next evolution in real-time communication APIs. Relay is a new real-time web service protocol that provides for persistent, asynchronous connections to the SignalWire network.

Reflecting on over 20 years of online technology, I feel there is no more important concept that has emerged than the API.

SignalWire, Inc., proprietors of FreeSWITCH, the leading global communications platform, officially launched today with the immediate availability of its new advanced communications platform, SignalWire CLOUD.
