As part of their launch they actually acquired all the assets of Cyclix Solutions LLC, a leading information technology and telecom services company with operations based in Gilford, New Hampshire. It is rare companies launch with an acquisition so the company differentiated itself at the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then in December, we <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tmcnet.com\/blog\/rich-tehrani\/unified-communications\/clearly-ip-continues-buying-spree-picks-up-modulis-ca-inc-for-large-scale-carrier-grade-services.html\">broke the news<\/a> they purchased <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmcnet.com\/query\/searchresults.aspx?searchstring=modulis&amp;Action.x=0&amp;Action.y=0\">Modulis<\/a>. Founded in 2006, they provided services to mid-sized and large enterprises with VoIP phone services. Specializing in providing reliable and redundant phone systems on a global scale with its multi-tenant, load-balanced, and failover-enabled CPaaS platform. Modulis services users throughout the United States, Canada, and European markets, offering support availability in both English and French languages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They have now purchased all telecom assets of Vancouver based Telrad Technology Group LTD.\u00a0 Privately-held, Vancouver-based Telrad has decades of experience providing mid-sized and large enterprises with Premium Premise and cloud VoIP phone services. As a result of the acquisition, ClearlyIP will continue to support and maintain Telrad&#8217;s Cloud and voice business solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ClearlyIP is also\nacquiring Telrad&#8217;s entire team, adding an office location in Vancouver, British\nColumbia, ensuring a seamless transition for customers and channel partners.\nThe acquisition grows ClearlyIP&#8217;s cloud services business and allows ClearlyIP\nto focus resources on engineering innovative solutions backed with best in\nclass customer service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tmcnet.com\/blog\/rich-tehrani\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Tony-Lewis.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14447\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tmcnet.com\/blog\/rich-tehrani\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Tony-Lewis.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blog.tmcnet.com\/blog\/rich-tehrani\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Tony-Lewis-90x90.jpg 90w, https:\/\/blog.tmcnet.com\/blog\/rich-tehrani\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Tony-Lewis-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption> Tony Lewis, ClearlyIP\u2019s CEO <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Tony Lewis, ClearlyIP\u2019s\nCEO, said, &#8220;It has been a busy time here at ClearlyIP, and our team has\nbeen working hard to execute the company vision we set last year.
