The way Acadiana works is changing — fast.
But one thing hasn’t changed at all: business still depends on communication.
From Lafayette to Broussard to Youngsville,companies of every size are moving their conversations, collaboration, and customer interactions into the cloud. What used to require desk phones, on-site hardware, and complex wiring is now handled by sleek, flexible tools that live online.
And the businesses making the smoothest transition all have one thing in common: a stronger foundation built on 100%fiber connectivity.
That’s why more organizations across Acadiana are turning to LFT Fiber’s Business Cloud Communications. It’s modern communication built for a connected workforce — powered by the speed,reliability, and local support only LFT Fiber can deliver.
What Cloud Communications Really Means for Business
If you haven’t made the switch yet, it’s easy to assume cloud communications is just “phones but online.”
But it’s much more than that.
Cloud communications unify:
- Voice
- Messaging
- Meetings
- Mobility
- Collaboration
All into one platform that works anywhere your team works.
Whether employees are in the office, on a job site, at home, or traveling, they can all stay connected on the same system —using the same tools, same number, and same call features.
That’s the future of work. And fiber makes it possible.
Why Cloud Communications Matter in Acadiana
Our region is unique. We’re growing fast, we’re connected by culture, and we have businesses that run on responsiveness —restaurants, healthcare clinics, professional services, hospitality,manufacturing, real estate, logistics, and more.
Cloud communication supports the way Acadiana companies operate today:
1. Mobility that matches the pace of your business
Your work doesn’t stop when you step away from your desk. Cloud communications let your team answer calls, respond to messages, and join meetings right from their mobile devices, without revealing personal numbers or missing a beat.
2. Built for hybrid and on-the-go teams
Whether your company has adopted hybrid work or moves fast, cloud communication tools keep everyone aligned in real time.
3. Customer service that always feels local
Auto-attendants,hunt groups, and intelligent routing ensure callers reach the right person quickly — even when your team is spread out.
4. Reliability during Louisiana’s toughest seasons
With no on-site PBX and no physical hardware to fail, your communication system stays online even when disruption hits — as long as the reliability of fiber powers you.
The Power of Hosted Voice — Made Better by Fiber
Hosted Voice is the backbone of modern business communication. When paired with LFT Fiber’s symmetrical speeds, it performs exactly the way Acadiana companies need:
- Crystal-clear call quality
- Instant call routing
- Real-time presence indicators
- Voicemail-to-email

Every feature depends on upload AND download speed — which is why fiber makes such a difference.

- Customers get quicker service.
That’s the LFT Fiber advantage.
