Let it Reign

Reignmaker Communications (Now that’s a fairly clever name: We’re giving that one a 7.2 on the My VoIP News 1-10 name rating scale), a privately held VoIP-hosted PBX telephony company, have announced the completion of the acquisition of Georgia-based communication companies CyberSouth Networks and Swifttel Communications. Exact terms of the deal were not released.

“These two companies represent the first of several key acquisitions Reignmaker seeks to make this year,” said Reignmaker CEO Steve Smithwick, CEO of Reignmaker Communications, presumably serving gauntlet-like notice to his would-be competitors. “…Reignmaker plans to aggressively, yet strategically expand upon its reputation as one of the leading Hosted PBX Service Providers in the country.”

As part of the acquisitions, Reignmaker will be picking up a CLEC license in Georgia, which will operate within the new subsidiary unoriginally named Reignmaker Telecom, Inc. The acquired firms represent a customer base of over 3,800 internet access and web hosting customers, a BroadSoft softswitch, an OC-12 fiber ring, and co-location facilities in Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta, Albany, and Vidalia, Ga.

Founded in 1996, Reignmaker Communications is a privately held company headquartered in Atlanta, Ga. offering service in over 400 US cities.
