The “Plateforme Télécom” (PFT), a collaborative project involving innovative SMEs such as iQsim as well as industrial leaders and famous laboratories, has been recently pre-selected in the bid for Innovative Platform Project by French Industry Ministry.

The PFT will propose a platform to companies which need to develop new products, new concepts or services on the areas of “future mobile network and services” and “Machine-to-Machine (M2M) applications and services”.

In addition the PFT will bring test, evaluation and development tools enabling companies to access and play with future mobile and M2M technologies.

The company flagship product, IRON Suite, is a SIM server platform which enables mobile operators to test the quality of services and applications they deploy worldwide.
