Neutral Tandem Announces New Name

Interconnection and interoperability solutions provider Neutral Tandem has rebranded itself as Inteliquent.

Inteliquent, which bought Tinet in October 2010, says the new name reflects the evolution of Neutral Tandem to a full-scale network solutions provider, offering intelligent networking to solve challenging interconnection and interoperability issues on a global scale. With an MPLS network that is highly interconnected to carriers around the world, Inteliquent provides voice, IP Transit, Ethernet and hosted service solutions to major carriers, service providers, and content management firms based in more than 80 countries on six continents.

Company shares will trade under the IQNT stock symbol, effective today.

"Our new brand is an important step in the evolution of our company and signifies a commitment to both our customers and our investors to deliver on our strategic vision," states Edward Evans, CEO of Chicago-based Inteliquent. "The name ‘Inteliquent’ scales with our expanded product set, and aligns well with our positioning as a global multi-services company that provides intelligent solutions to complex problems in the industry."
