About Us | SignalWireAbout Us | SignalWire

Develop. Deploy. Disrupt.

Our mission is a simple one. To empower you to build whatever you can imagine utilizing software-defined telecom capabilities. Whether it’s a product, service, application, or enterprise communication tool, we want you to focus on your idea instead of worrying about developing, scaling, maintaining, and of course, overpaying for complex communications technology and services.

The Original Geeks

This is not a new mission for us. Over the past 15 years, our team has developed the number one open-source communications platform in the world, FreeSWITCH. No one knows more about software-defined telecom than we do. No one is more committed to the success of our customers and community. Let’s change the way the world communicates.
