Company Overview

Neutral Tandem was founded on the principle that a tandem network must be neutral—meaning, not owned by any one incumbent carrier—and is critical to the type of vigorous competition that ultimately results in lower-cost, higher-value telecommunications services for consumers and enterprises. Neutral Tandem established such a network, making it more efficient and cost-effective for wireless carriers, cable companies, CLECs and broadband service providers to streamline interconnections between one another.
