Cyclix Networks

What Cyclix Networks does

ClearlyIP operates a hybrid recurring-revenue and transactional business model: subscription-based Clearly Cloud UCaaS and SIP trunking contracts (typically annual), one-time software licensing on CIP PBX Appliances and ClusterPBX Enterprise, hardware sales of IP phones and VoIP gateways through an e-commerce store, plus managed services (Business Connect) and professional services (FreePBX training, telecom consulting). Go-to-market combines a global partner/reseller channel (Partner Program with Find a Partner locator, resource centers, and free 3-day FreePBX training) with quote-based direct enterprise sales and self-service portals for Clearly Cloud and SIP Trunking. Customer concentration sits in SMB and mid-market accounts across hospitality, education, auto dealerships, radio stations, religious/non-profit organizations, local exchange carriers, financial services, and benefits administration.
