CNT AG
As the oldest Internet Service Provider in Germany, CNT introduced the first true Cloud PBX for large enterprises.
CNT® stands for Communication Network Technologies and, like few other companies in Germany, represents extensive experience, high expertise, and consistent continuity in Internet and telecommunications. CNT continually sets standards and develops innovations that are second to none.
Internet Service Provider since 1995
CNT is one of the most renowned Internet Service Providers, providing Internet access and site networking for medium and large enterprises in Germany, Europe, and worldwide. Today, CNT is the oldest ISP in Germany, having offered its Network Services nationwide since 1995.
VoIP Pioneer
As early as 2001, CNT replaced traditional telephone lines with the then-new Voice-over-IP technology, before the SIP standard was established. Since 2008, CNT has relied on its own Cloud PBX (virtual telephone system) and is pioneering the future of cloud solutions.

History
1995: The Beginning of Commercial Internet Use
At a time when the commercial use of the internet was still in its infancy, CNT, in collaboration with IBM, provided internet access via leased lines and site networking for business customers across Germany. Just a few months later, CNT took over the support of IBM AS/400 partners in Southern Germany as well as renowned clients like Daimler – a true pioneer in this field.
