IQSTEL's AI Strategy, Products, and 2026 Roadmap: What Product Teams Should Know
IQSTEL (NASDAQ: IQST) laid out a clear AI plan that blends an in-house platform, telecom-grade voice infrastructure, and security into shippable products. The focus is practical: deploy AI agents across web and voice, monetize with subscriptions and services, and scale through enterprise-ready governance. If you build products in telecom or customer engagement, this is a blueprint worth studying.
The Core Stack: Reality Border + Cycurion
IQSTEL develops AI through Reality Border, its proprietary AI platform, tightly connected to the company's global telecom network and to Cycurion for security. The platform is built for enterprise scale and voice-heavy use cases, with a shared architecture that lets improvements roll out across products without rework.
- Multichannel AI agents across web, voice, and messaging
- Central orchestration with agent tooling and policy controls
- Secure integrations with business apps and telecom voice systems
- U.S./EU data separation for compliance and enterprise deals
- Controlled access to external LLMs
- Perimeter and API protection via Cycurion ARx
Products in Market (Shipping Today)
AIRWEB: A 24/7 AI assistant for web and phone that handles multilingual, voice-interactive use cases. Free entry plans and tiered subscriptions support fast pilots and scale-up without procurement bottlenecks.
IQ2Call: An AI-first call center solution that auto-scales agents to reduce wait times, with seamless handoff to humans. Offered as Full AI, Hybrid, or Human-first with AI assistance, so teams can match cost, quality, and compliance needs per workflow.
AI-Powered Contact Center Services: An end-to-end managed service that blends the same platform with human agents and telecom connectivity. Available through contactcenter.iqstel.com for enterprises that want one accountable provider.
Security by Design (A Real Differentiator for Voice and PII)
Cycurion ARx sits at the edge of these agents. The stack includes reverse-proxy shielding, WAF/API firewalling, bot defense with behavioral analysis, and threat intelligence at the agent boundary. For product leaders in regulated sectors, this approach helps align with emerging AI risk frameworks.

Commercial Model and Early Traction
Pricing is transparent across AIRWEB, IQ2Call, and managed contact center services, designed for recurring revenue and clear unit economics. The go-to-market motion supports quick onboarding with a path to enterprise agreements.
- AIRWEB: just under 100 active users to date (signal for product-market validation and usage data)
- Production agents live with ONAR and Mobility Tech
- IQ2Call trials and "try-and-buy" programs active, with strong interest in Latam contact centers
- Contact center pipeline: 6+ active opportunities, ~2 new qualified leads per month; typical cycles 3-6 months
IQSTEL sets a seven-digit sales objective for high-margin AI services in fiscal year 2027. The intent is to compound margin by layering AI onto existing telecom relationships and infrastructure.
Roadmap: Next 12 Months
- Verticalized agent templates for faster deployment and clearer ROI
- Deeper expansion into high-volume enterprise workflows (web and voice)
- AI supervision agent to enforce policies and improve reliability, QA, and compliance across IQ2Call and managed services
- New retail-oriented solution combining telecom products with AI (target launch: Q2)
- Patents focused on agent workflows, orchestration, and vertical automation
- Scale through partners plus direct enterprise engagements (including hybrid AI-human ops)
What Product Teams Can Take From This
- Build for multichannel from day one. Voice isn't an edge case; it's core in telecom and service ops.
- Keep data jurisdiction explicit. U.S./EU separation helps unblock enterprise procurement and audits.
- Add a supervision layer. Treat it like an SRE function for AI: policy enforcement, runtime monitoring, and outcome review.
- Offer operational flexibility. Full AI, Hybrid, and Human-first modes reduce risk and speed adoption.
- Price for recurring value. Publish tiers where possible; hold a managed option for complex buyers.
- Measure what matters. Track wait time reduction, containment rate, CSAT, and cost-to-serve to prove ROI quickly.
