Communications services provider Cbeyond said today its footprint now covers Los Angeles-area SMBs.

The company markets its products including VoIP, mobile, security and messaging largely through solutions providers.

“Our sixth market, Los Angeles, represents a significant market opportunity for us, said Jim Geiger, president and CEO of Cbeyond. Its more than 176,000 small businesses make Los Angeles the largest market in the U.S. for small business, and we believe that many of these businesses are currently underserved by the region’s carriers.

Cbeyond offers packages such as BeyondVoice I, which includes six local phone lines with 1,500 minutes of local and long-distance service, and a high-speed 1.5mbps symmetric Internet connection. Another bundle, BeyondMobile, was designed just for small businesses.
