NASHVILLE, TN — September 1, 2016 — Equinox Information Systems today marks its 30th anniversary, celebrating three decades of delivering fraud management and usage analytics software to telecommunications carriers across the United States and around the world. Founded in 1986, Equinox has grown from a Nashville-based startup to a trusted partner for more than 380 carriers of all sizes.
The company was founded with a straightforward mission: create a great place to work while delivering software solutions that solve real problems for telecom carriers. That philosophy — focused on customers, employees, and long-term partnerships rather than short-term growth — has remained constant across three decades of industry change.
During that time, Equinox has witnessed the dissolution of the Bell monopoly, the emergence of soft-switches and VoIP, the rise of hosted and cloud-based voice services, and a steady evolution in the nature and sophistication of telecom fraud. Through each of these shifts, Equinox's core products — Protector for fraud management and TeleLink for mediation and usage analytics — have adapted to meet the changing needs of the carriers they serve.
"Thirty years is a long time in any industry, but especially in telecom. The technology has changed dramatically, but what hasn't changed is the commitment of our team and the trust our customers place in us. We're incredibly proud of what we've built together."
— Byron Middendorf, Co-Founder and CEO, Equinox Information Systems
Equinox employs a staff with an average tenure of more than 15 years, reflecting the company's emphasis on building deep expertise and lasting relationships — both internally and with its customers.
