A fast, reliable experience

Lumen operates a global voice network to deliver SIP and ISDN signaled services with no additional network layers, hops or dependency on legacy network elements.

Our TDM and SIP trunking, enterprise voice, collaboration and hosted UC services extend across North America, EMEA, APAC and LATAM regions.

Voice and Collaboration

Lumen leads the North American SIP trunking market with the largest install base, and carrying approximately 21 billion enterprise voice minutes on average per month.

Enterprise minutes that traverse the Lumen global voice network, based on a 3-month average from Oct 2020 – Dec 2020

Edge Cloud and IT Agility

The Lumen Platform combines Edge Cloud and IT agility capabilities for high-performance, low-latency data and application experiences, moving data and applications closer to their users.

Adaptive Networking

Our adaptive network delivers the core data services that businesses need with a set of hybrid networking solutions that are built on our worldwide fiber network.

Connected Security

The entire Lumen Platform is reinforced with intelligent and automated threat detection and response, built in to safeguard data and applications.

One provider,
all the solutions you need

In this environment, applications have become a critical element of everyday business and life - the interface between our next-gen technologies and how we get value from them. Applications are the means for businesses to provide differentiated experiences, and they increasingly require distributed hosting environments, and minimal latency for real-time engagement.

  • Enable calling integrations to the Microsoft cloud or customer’s voice with other cloud calling platforms in addition to Microsoft
  • Analytics through Unify Square PowerSuiteTM Advanced reporting & analytics plus telephone number management
