History[edit]
AireSpring was founded in 2001 by Avi, Daniel, and David Lonstein who in 1997 sold ADDTEL Communications, Inc., their privately held company resold switched long distance, to SA Communications, Inc.[2] The Lonstein brothers reinvested a portion of their returns into a new company whose sole focus was on the small to medium-sized business and multi-location enterprise market and called it AireSpring. The company began where it left off, selling switched long-distance services.[3] Since then, AireSpring has expanded its portfolio to include local phone service, dedicated internet, ethernet, MPLS VPN, SD-WAN, Cloud Connectivity, Managed Security (firewalls, DDoS mitigation) and VoIP/SIP trunking services.[4]
In 2014, AireSpring acquired hosted contact center provider, simplyCT.[5]
