IDT Corp
IDT Corporation, founded in 1990, emerged at a time when the telecommunications landscape was rapidly evolving. Initially, it marked its presence as a provider of discount international long-distance phone services, catering to consumers keen on reducing the cost of international calls. This nimble beginning laid the foundation for IDT to expand and diversify its business model over the decades. The company, headquartered in Newark, New Jersey, soon ventured into various telecom and technology-related services. As the internet age flourished, IDT capitalized on VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) technology, allowing it to transition seamlessly into new areas of communications. The company's focus on innovation, coupled with strategic moves, including mergers and acquisitions, allowed it to stay relevant in a highly competitive market.
Today, IDT Corp operates through various segments, leveraging its expertise in telecommunications to offer a spectrum of services. Its core sectors include IDT Telecom, National Retail Solutions, and net2phone. IDT Telecom is the powerhouse, delivering international calling services, mobile top-up solutions, and payment offerings. Meanwhile, National Retail Solutions provides point-of-sale (POS) terminal systems tailored for independent retailers, allowing them to compete with larger chains by offering advanced transaction solutions. Net2phone focuses on Unified Communications-as-a-Service (UCaaS), providing businesses with robust communication systems over the internet. Through these diverse avenues, IDT generates revenue by constantly evolving its technological offerings, positioning itself as a multifaceted provider in the global communications domain.
