“Our team has heard from many North American partners who are taking advantage of our technology to route additional calls across 40 high-quality carriers to meet increased capacity needs for texting, virtual meetings, and teleconferencing. They’re able to instantly increase their calls per second (CPS) and deliver more traffic during the COVID 19 outbreak.”
– Aaron Leon, Commio CEO
Since emerging in Wuhan, China in late January 2020, the global community continues to grapple with addressing the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak. With millions of active cases in 170 countries and counting, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak as a pandemic. With that announcement, the WHO requested that governments, schools, and businesses help with “mitigation.”
Telecommuting during the Coronavirus Outbreak
Mitigation involves lowering the impact on society as a whole by taking steps to limit the spread of the disease. This involves everything from telling people to wash their hands several times a day to suggesting that businesses allow employees to work from home and schools find ways for students to attend classes online.
How will you scale your voice and messaging capacity to meet increasing demand during emergencies like the coronavirus outbreak?
We’ve heard from a growing number of businesses who are struggling with the costs and delays inherent in adding new voice carriers as employees and students work from home in larger and larger numbers. Overall demand for telemedicine, online conferencing, messaging, and voice over IP (VoIP) calls per second and bandwidth are increasing. Commio is focused on delivering scalable, customizable, and intuitive voice and messaging services in the cloud to serve businesses of all shapes and sizes.

“Commio was purpose-built in the cloud to scale voice and messaging resources as needed to meet any rising demand for telecom services,” said Aaron Leon, CEO. “We’re here to play our part in the coronavirus mitigation efforts by expanding capacity for partners who need it to allow businesses to have employees work and make calls or teleconference from home, as well as have schools scale text messaging from education apps, and more.”
Commio’s cloud platform and APIs make it easy and inexpensive to add capacity to your existing voice over IP (VoIP) and SMS/MMS text messaging solutions, without the need to install additional hardware or software. You also don’t need to negotiate with or install new carriers to handle increased bandwidth and delivery needs. With Commio, it’s easy to add capacity to Twilio, Nexmo, and Plivo applications, as well as any VoIP system powered by SIP trunking to power work from home jobs on Jooble and other employment sites.
“Our team has heard from a number of North American partners who are taking advantage of our technology to route additional calls across 40 high-quality carriers to meet increased capacity needs for virtual meetings and teleconferencing,” said Leon. “They’re able to instantly increase their calls per second (CPS) and deliver more traffic during this emergency, and many are adding SMS/MMS messaging delivery to keep their end-users informed and connected. In addition, you can add thinQ as a primary or backup carrier to have a solution embedded in your system to handle bursts of activity like this as an insurance policy.”

We’re taking the coronavirus seriously and will continue to keep Commio’s services running smoothly. We recommend that everyone follow the CDC’s health tips, including:
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
- If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
