Clarent Corporation specialized in developing software-driven communication technologies that enabled service providers to transmit voice, fax, and data simultaneously across Internet Protocol (IP) networks. These innovations effectively bridged the gap between conventional circuit-switched telephone systems and modern IP networks, ensuring that IP telephony remained imperceptible to end-users who continued to use their existing wired or wireless phones. The company's customer base included telecommunication service providers, system integrators, resellers, and various enterprise-level organizations.
