Intersec is a French technology company that specializes in AI, metadata and location intelligence services. It is based in Puteaux, France.[1]
History
[edit source]Intersec was founded in 2004 by Yann Chevalier, Jean-Marc Coïc and Olivier Guillaumin.[2][3] In its initial years, it was mainly known for its SMS software developed for telecom operators.[2][4] The company has since expanded its operations and now develops software applications that process big data from telecommunications operators internationally.[5][6][7]
In May 2022, Intersec deployed the FR-Alert system, which sends emergency notifications to mobile phones in areas affected by disasters or attacks in France.[8][9] The company has since deployed national public warning systems in several other countries, including Germany,[10] Croatia,[11] Slovenia,[12] and Luxembourg.[citation needed]
In 2023, Intersec became a member of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to further adoption of early warning systems. Intersec is also a member of the European Emergency Number Association (EENA)[13], the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI),[14] contributes to the Linux Foundation's CAMARA project,[15] and has worked with the TM Forum on disaster recovery initiatives.[16] It was also part of the StopCovid contributor ecosystem in France.[17]
Platform
[edit source]Intersec's location platform combines multiple location technologies to determine device location with an accuracy of a few meters in urban areas.[18] It processes telecommunications metadata to enable applications for disaster resilience, emergency services, LEA investigations, and telecom innovation.[19][20][21][22]
In addition to public warning system, Intersec provides geolocation and 5G intelligence services for telecom operators in Europe, the Middle East, North America,[23] and Africa.[24]
In 2025, Intersec launched Intersec AI, designed to enhance capabilities and assist users with domain-specific AI agents.[25] In the same year, Intersec completed its transition to a subscription-based model.[26] It also includes CAMARA-compliant APIs for secure telecom integration.[27]
Investors
[edit source]Member of the La french Tech[28], Intersec raised 4 million euros in 2011[29], followed by 20 million dollars in 2014[30][31], and 10 million dollars in 2016.[32]
In 2025, Tikehau Capital and Revaia have agreed to acquire a majority stake in Intersec.[33]
