NEW YORK, NY, Jan. 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE – iQSTEL, Inc. (OTC: IQST) announces that its 51% Swiss subsidiary generated over $5.6 million in revenue for 2019.
Mr. Iglesias, the Company’s CEO, stated: “The acquisition strategy we have set out for iQSTEL is showing early success. This vertical acquisition has been key since it gives us bare-bottom-cost-based voice routing interconnection into European cities and major carriers we did not previously have. Additionally, we have been able to quickly implement synergies in our admin, IT and operating departments. This acquisition and integration has been not only strategic in allowing us to provide cross-selling opportunities with Etelix, but more importantly, we believe it enhances our carrier network backbone, which we expect to be fundamental as we step up cross-selling opportunities with soon-to-be-announced services and acquisitions in other horizontal strategic solutions in the 5G, blockchain-based carrier payment, as well as DID portability space. Full-year revenue on an additive basis for both subsidiaries reached $21,938,503 for 2019. We expect organic growth in these 2 subsidiaries to be in the 20-30% YOY, but more importantly, will be the backbone of our transitioning into a full-service cloud-based 21st century communications provider in the near and mid-term.”
