Our global presence includes offices in USA, Argentina, UK, Switzerland, Turkey, and Dubai, and we target diverse and high-growth markets. We maintain more than 603 high value network interconnections around the world, delivering international voice, SMS, and connectivity services that form the core of our business. Our strategy focuses on leveraging synergies among our subsidiaries to drive innovation, operational efficiency, and growth through organic development and strategic acquisitions.

Our Telecom Division, which represents the majority of current operations and accounted for 91% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025, offers Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), SMS, proprietary Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, and international fiber-optic connectivity through its subsidiaries: Etelix (www.etelix.com), SwissLink Carrier (www.swisslink-carrier.com), Smartbiz Telecom (www.smartbiztel.com), Whisl Telecom (www.whisl.com), IoT Labs (www.iotlabs.mx), QGlobal SMS (www.qglobalsms.com), and QXTEL Limited (www.qxtel.com).

Also under the Telecom Division, our developing Blockchain Platform Business Line offers our proprietary Mobile Number Portability Application (MNPA) through our subsidiary, itsBchain (www.itsbchain.com).

The Company’s developing Fintech Business Line offers a complete Fintech ecosystem including a MasterCard Debit Card, US Bank Account (No SSN Needed), and a Mobile App/Wallet for remittances and mobile top-up services. Our Fintech subsidiary, Global Money One Inc., aims to provide immigrants access to reliable financial services that makes it easier to manage their money and stay connected with their families back home. Additionally, GlobeTopper LLC (www.globetopper.com), our most recent acquisition, supports expansion and integration of our business divisions through its B2B digital gift card and incentives platform, which represented 9% and 0% of our revenues for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Our Artificial Intelligence (AI) division, Reality Border (www.realityborder.com), initially developed an AI-enhanced immersive digital experience platform. Building on that early development work—including conversational interfaces, multilingual models, and AI-driven workflows—Reality Border now develops practical AI software solutions for enterprise and telecommunications applications.

Reality Border currently serves as IQSTEL’s AI innovation and product development platform. Its activities include AI agents and related software solutions designed for web, voice, and contact center environments, as well as integration with telecommunications infrastructure, business systems, and security layers. The Company’s AI strategy includes solutions such as Airweb.ai for AI-powered customer engagement across web and phone channels, IQ2Call.ai for AI-enabled call center and customer care applications, and IQCortex.ai for broader AI platform capabilities and enterprise use cases.

Reality Border’s current development efforts include software functionality, workflow orchestration, multilingual interaction, system integration, and operational deployment models intended for business use. Reality Border’s earlier immersive platform work contributed to capabilities that are now being applied in its AI products; however, the current business emphasis is on AI solutions for enterprise and telecommunications operations rather than metaverse-based environments.

Telecom Subsidiaries for voice services:

Etelix.com USA LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of IQSTEL Inc., is a US based international telecom carrier founded in 2008 that provides telecom and technology solutions worldwide, with commercial presence in North America, Latin America, and Europe. Etelix provides International Long-Distance voice services for Telecommunications Operators (ILD Wholesale), and Submarine Fiber Optic Network capacity for internet (4G and 5G).

Etelix is interconnected to the most important players in the industry, with a very strong focus on Asian and Latin-American markets, among which it is worth mentioning: China Telecom, PCCW, Hutchinson Telecom, Vodafone India, KDDI, Airtel, Reliance, Viettel, TATA Communications, Flow Jamaica (Cable and Wireless Caribbean), Cable and Wireless Panama, Millicom (TIGO), Telefonica de España (Movistar), Telecom Italia (TIM), Portugal Telecom (MEU), Optimus (NOS), Belgacom (BICS), Deutsche Telekom, iBasis, Orbitel and Entel.

In 2013, Etelix participated in a consortium of telecommunications carriers that upgraded the Maya-1 submarine cable system, which runs from Hollywood, Florida to Tolú, Colombia. As part of this arrangement, Etelix held 10 Gbps of capacity, which was subsequently sold to a third party customer. This transaction expanded Etelix’s ability at that time to provide additional international connectivity capacity to support customer demand.

SwissLink Carrier AG, a 51% owned subsidiary of IQSTEL Inc., strengthens the company’s international telecommunications portfolio as a Switzerland-based carrier with global VoIP connectivity and notable commercial presence across Europe, the CIS, and Latin America. In addition to its license as a Swiss-licensed operator, SwissLink expanded its regulatory footprint in February 2026 by obtaining two key licenses in Italy: (a) Network Infrastructure & Provision, which authorizes the management of network infrastructure, licensed spectrum applications, number-hosting, transit operations, and the support of third-party ISPs; and (b) Publicly Available Telephone Services, enabling the provision of fixed voice services and direct interconnection agreements for voice resellers and value-added services. These dual Italian licenses, alongside its Swiss authorization, position SwissLink as a full-cycle operator in Italy, granting end-to-end autonomy, technical sovereignty, enhanced reliability, cost optimization, operational agility, and complete regulatory compliance. Thanks to its strategic position in Europe, SwissLink enables the IQSTEL group to be highly competitive in capturing voice traffic destined for Asian and African markets. Notably, more than 50% of traffic terminating in Africa originates from European customers, while nearly 40% of traffic to Asia also flows from Europe, underscoring Europe’s crucial role as an international telecommunications hub. SwissLink’s robust interconnections with leading carriers—including Orange Wholesale International, CJC Global Connections & Consulting LLC, iBASIS Communications AG, U.S. South Communications, Inc., Belgacom International Carrier, Bell Canada Inc., and SWISSCOM (SCHWEIZ) AG—further extend IQSTEL’s reach and operational efficiency, supporting expansion in high-growth regions across Asia and Africa.

New businesses subsidiaries:

ItsBchain LLC is a 75% owned subsidiary of IQSTEL Inc. ItsBchain is a blockchain technology developer and solution provider, with a strong focus on the telecom sector. The company has focused on the development of solutions aimed at using the blockchain ledger and smart contracts to enable more efficiency, quickness in execution and fraud-prevention in the telecommunications industry. Specifically, the company has developed a solution that will enable users and carriers to transfer mobile phone numbers with just a few clicks, allowing users and carriers the ability to transfer retail users from one mobile carrier to another instantly.

The Company has done research covering 35 countries where number portability is mandatory by law. Those 35 countries have a total of 3.3 billion in population and 4.0 billion phone lines that can be ported from one carrier to another. It is estimated that an average of 5% of the total phone lines are ported every year.

Number portability is executed and supervised by a third independent party, who acts as a database administrator and has the responsibility to guarantee all transactions requested by the customers will be completed and his/her phone number will be ported from Carrier A to Carrier B. In the countries under our analysis there are 11 different database administrators.

In terms of dollar value, the number portability market in the countries under our analysis is estimated at over $86 million per year. This is based on the actual cost carriers and/or customers have to pay to get the lines ported. Revenues of the Data Base Administrators comes from a monthly fee charged to all participant carriers, plus a fee for every transaction completed over the platform. The monthly fee and the transactions fee vary from country to country.

Our objective is to offer the market conformity by data-based administrators a much more cost-effective solution, which will not only reduce the operating cost, but that will also make the transactions to complete faster without any additional CAPEX.

Our mobile number portability solution is now being tested prior to its commercial release.

Global Money One Inc. Is a 75% owned subsidiary of IQSTEL Inc. The company offers a complete Fintech ecosystem including a MasterCard Debit Card, US Bank Account (No SSN Needed), and a Mobile App/Wallet to manage Remittances and Mobile Top Up. Our focus is to provide immigrants access to reliable financial services that make it easier to manage their money and stay connected with their families back home.

All available services can be managed through our mobile App “GlobalMoneyOne” available for IOS and Android. The first non-commercial release of the Fintech suite was done in June 2022. Since that date all services have been tested including the known-your-customer (KYC) process for the issuance of debits cards, the settlement process with the issuer bank, the intermediary entities handling the remittances, and the intermediaries and cellular operators for the Top Up, as well as the proper training of our customer care agents.

According to recent estimates from the World Bank, remittances to low- and middle-income countries continued their upward trajectory, approaching nearly $700 billion in 2025. Transfers to Latin America and the Caribbean reached record levels, driven largely by strong labor-market participation of regional migrants in the United States. Within the region, remittances grew sharply in several countries: Nicaragua registered increases of over 22%, Guatemala saw growth of around 14%, and Colombia reported gains of more than 14% during the first half of the year. In contrast, Mexico experienced a decline of roughly 4.6% after more than a decade of uninterrupted growth. As a share of GDP, the most recent data show remittances remaining highly significant across Central America and the Caribbean, with El Salvador and Honduras maintaining ratios above 24% and 25% respectively, while Jamaica and Haiti continue to depend heavily on inflows despite varying economic conditions. These metrics show there are business opportunities in the remittances arena and Global Money One has a developed platform to take advantage of them.

Reality Border LLC initially developed an early proof-of-concept immersive digital platform for IQSTEL. Building on that early development work, Reality Border now develops AI software solutions for enterprise and telecommunications applications. Reality Border currently serves as IQSTEL’s AI innovation and product development platform, with activities that include AI agents and related software solutions for web, voice, and contact center environments, as well as integration with telecommunications infrastructure, business systems, and security layers.

Regulations

The following is a summary of what we believe to be the material current and proposed international, federal, state, and local laws, regulations, orders, and legislation that could have a material effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. This summary is not exhaustive, and new or changed requirements could impose additional material obligations or costs.

Regulation of Telecom in the United States

Telecommunications services in the United States are subject to comprehensive regulation at the federal, state, and local levels. Non-compliance with applicable requirements may result in enforcement actions, including the imposition of interest, fines, or other penalties. The Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) exercises jurisdiction over all telecommunications common carriers to the extent they provide interstate or international services, including the use of local networks to originate or terminate such traffic. State public utility commissions regulate these same carriers with respect to the provision of intrastate and local services. In addition, local governmental authorities may indirectly affect our operations through zoning restrictions, taxation, permitting and right-of-way requirements, and franchise obligations. Any material changes to the laws, rules, or regulatory frameworks administered by these federal, state, or local authorities could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Regulation of Telecom by the Federal Communications Commission

Universal Service and Other Regulatory Fees and Charges

In 1997, the FCC issued an order, referred to as the Universal Service Order, which requires all telecommunications carriers providing interstate telecommunications services to contribute to universal service support programs administered by the FCC (known as the Universal Service Fund). These periodic contributions are currently assessed based on a percentage of each contributor’s interstate and international end user telecommunications revenues reported to the FCC. Etelix and our other US-based telecom subsidiaries also contribute to several other regulatory funds and programs, most notably Telecommunications Relay Service and FCC Regulatory Fees (collectively, the “Other Funds”). Due to the manner in which these contributions are calculated, we cannot be assured that we fully recover from our customers all of our contributions

In addition, based on the nature of our current business, we receive certain exemptions from federal Universal Service Fund contributions. Changes in our business (including growth in our fintech or AI operations) could eliminate our ability to qualify for some or all of these exemptions. Changes in regulations may also have an impact on the availability of some or all of these exemptions. If even some of these exemptions become unavailable, they could materially increase our federal Universal Service Fund or Other Funds’ contributions and have a material adverse effect on the cost of our operations and, therefore, on our ability to continue to operate profitably, and to develop and grow our business. We cannot be certain of the stability of the contribution factors for the Other Funds. Significant increases in the contribution factor for the Other Funds in general and the Telecommunications Relay Service Fund in particular can impact our profitability. Whether these contribution factors will be stable in the future is unknown, but it is possible that we will be subject to significant increases.

Regulation of Telecom—International

In connection with our international operations, we have obtained licenses or are otherwise authorized to provide telecommunications services in Switzerland and Italy (including SwissLink’s recent expansion of its regulatory footprint in Italy in February 2026). In several of the jurisdictions in which we currently operate or intend to operate, our activities are subject to local laws and regulatory frameworks that, among other provisions, may restrict or limit the ability of private telecommunications providers to compete with state-owned or state-authorized incumbent carriers. These regulatory constraints can materially affect the scope and manner in which we are permitted to offer telecommunications services in those markets, increase compliance costs, or require additional licensing or approvals.

Regulation of Internet Telephony

The provision of voice communications services over the Internet and private IP networks is generally subject to a less burdensome regulatory framework than traditional circuit-switched telephony in the United States and many foreign jurisdictions. In numerous markets, these IP-based services are not currently subject to certain taxes, fees, or regulatory assessments that apply to legacy telephony and that would otherwise increase our operating costs. As a result, we are able, in many jurisdictions, to offer VoIP services at pricing levels that are more competitive than those applicable to traditional telephone services. However, legislative and regulatory bodies in the United States and abroad have undertaken efforts to align the regulatory treatment of VoIP with that of traditional telephony. Such initiatives could impose additional fees, taxes, charges, or regulatory obligations on IP-based communications services, which could materially increase our costs and diminish or eliminate our pricing advantages. Moreover, several foreign governments have enacted, or are considering, laws or regulations that restrict or prohibit the provision of voice services over the Internet or private IP networks. These measures could similarly impair our ability to offer VoIP services in affected markets.

Money Transmitter and Payment Instrument Laws and Regulations

Our consumer payment services offerings—including prepaid debit cards, remittances, and mobile top-up services provided through Global Money One and GlobeTopper—are heavily regulated industries. Accordingly, we, and the products and services that we offer in consumer payment services, are subject to a variety of federal and state laws and regulations, including:

· Banking laws and regulations;

· Money transmitter and payment instrument laws and regulations (which may require state licensing and ongoing compliance);

· Anti-money laundering laws (including the Bank Secrecy Act and related know-your-customer (“KYC”) and customer due diligence requirements);

· Privacy and data security laws and regulations (including applicable state and federal requirements and, where relevant, international frameworks such as GDPR for European operations);

· Consumer protection laws and regulations;

· Unclaimed property laws; and

· Card association and network organization rules (including Mastercard rules applicable to our debit card offerings).

Compliance with these requirements involves significant ongoing costs, reporting obligations, and risk of penalties for noncompliance. Failure to maintain necessary licenses or adhere to these regulations could materially restrict our ability to offer or expand fintech services.

Employees

Attracting and retaining qualified personnel familiar with our businesses who head our different businesses units is critical to our success. As of December 31, 2025, we had a total of 100 employees, including all subsidiaries.

Our human capital resources objectives include identifying, recruiting, retaining, incentivizing, and integrating employees, advisors, and consultants. To achieve this, our compensation practices aim to attract and retain qualified personnel and align their interests with our goals and the best interests of our stockholders. Our compensation philosophy is to provide remuneration that meets our current needs and growth initiatives and to offer incentives for achieving our long-term plans, including equity and cash incentive plans that attract, retain, and reward personnel through stock-based and cash-based compensation awards. We consider talent attraction and retention essential for achieving our strategy, and we recognize that a trained, diverse, and engaged workforce is crucial to meeting our objectives. Our recruiting process targets a broad spectrum of potential employees, and we employ a rigorous screening process to identify and hire qualified professionals.

We are committed to diversity and inclusion in the workforce, implementing a policy of non-discriminatory treatment and respect for human rights for all current and prospective employees. We prohibit discrimination based on an individual’s race, religion, creed, color, sex, sexual orientation, age, marital status, disability, national origin, or veteran’s status, which is illegal in many jurisdictions. We respect the human rights of all employees and strive to treat them with dignity in accordance with standards and practices recognized by the international community.
