Cataleya

What Cataleya does

Cataleya Pte. Ltd. is a Singapore-incorporated, privately held software vendor that builds session border controller (SBC) and voice communication enablement products under the Orchid family. The company was carved out of Epsilon Global Communications in March 2017 and acquired by its management team led by Chairman and CEO Andreas Hipp. Core technology centers on Orchid Link, a single-software-model SBC and Class 4 switching platform that supports enterprise SIP trunking, UCaaS, Microsoft Teams Direct Routing, Zoom Phone Premise Peering, voice wholesale, international gateways, VoLTE/VoWiFi, and IMS networks. Modular add-ons include Orchid Collab (Teams/Zoom automation), Orchid Probe (number plan mirroring), Orchid webRTC, Orchid Text (A2P messaging), and a Fraud Detection Suite featuring machine-learning-based real-time fraud analytics.

The company's product portfolio is delivered on-premises, in the cloud, or as a hybrid deployment through Orchid Cloud (SBCaaS), a pay-per-use global platform with active nodes in London, Singapore, and Ashburn and availability in 30+ countries. Revenue mechanics combine subscription-based software licensing, usage-based SBC capacity on demand, managed services such as Link2teams, and 24x7 professional services. The go-to-market is hybrid: direct enterprise sales to telecom operators, MNOs/MVNOs, international gateways, and UCaaS/CPaaS providers, combined with an expanding channel of regional integrators and hosting partners such as Enreach, Mesiniaga, Aarenet, Telko, Dhaka Colo, and Caprus Digital.

Cataleya targets telecom operators and service providers across APAC (Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Australia), Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and North America. Customer evidence includes 16+ named enterprise telecom logos (Enreach, Indosat, Afghan Wireless, GlobalMeet, Telecel Group, Epsilon Telecom, Telecall, Toku, SmartIPX, Salam, Kwebbl, and others) and a reported 60% share of Bangladesh's 18-ICX market, underscoring strength in emerging-market voice interconnects. The company has no disclosed funding, no public listing, and a lean 51-100 employee structure, while executing an aggressive partnership-led expansion cadence of roughly one new channel or strategic alliance per month through 2025-2026.
