Nasim Telecom

What Nasim Telecom does

Nasim Telecom (Nasim Ertebat Ayandeh Knowledge-Based Co.) is an Iran-based, privately held, founder-led telecommunications software company founded in 2012, operating as a designated productive knowledge-based enterprise. The company designs and builds a VoIP and NGN/IMS software stack drawn largely on open-source foundations (Asterisk, FreeSWITCH) with proprietary enhancements, including the LREPROXY/LRKProxy module published in IEEE. Its product portfolio centers on Simotel, an IP-PBX and call center platform offered on-premise or as a multi-tenant cloud Hosted PBX, supplemented by a high-capacity Soft Switch certified by the Communications Regulatory Authority of Iran for 50,000+ concurrent calls, a Session Border Controller with DoS/DDoS protection and transcoding, an IMS solution supporting VoLTE and RCS, native iOS/Android/web softphones, a CRM module, and call-center outsourcing services. Recent additions include AI-powered call monitoring and an intelligent telephone assistant.

The company monetizes through a blend of one-time license sales (SBC, Simotel on-premise), recurring subscriptions (Hosted PBX, softphone), managed and operator-grade services (IMS, call-center outsourcing), and ancillary revenue from consulting, training content (including the first Persian Asterisk/VoIP reference book), and an internet-telephony comparison platform (Telina). It serves telecom operators, large enterprises, and government/public-sector organizations in Iran, with international reach into Afghanistan, Turkey, the UAE, and Azerbaijan via a network of 8 authorized agents (in Tehran, Mashhad, Kashmar, Arak, Kish Island, and Kabul) and direct field sales; key reference customers include Iran Telecommunication Company, Astan Quds Razavi, and Iranian Police.

Its go-to-market is enterprise-led, event-driven, and content-amplified: direct sales with consultation/demo funnels, intensive participation in domestic and international exhibitions (Iran Telecom, Bakutel, GITEX, iTechMashhad, PISEC, Afghanistan ICT, Iran EXPO), academic and open-source conference presence (FOSDEM, AstriCon, ClueCon, CommCon, SCIoT), distribution of free technical publications, and a branded quarterly magazine and podcast (Nasim Ertebat). Iran CRA certification, a role in Iran's only IP-PBX testing laboratory, membership in the Iran Telecom Syndicate and MAPTA exporters union, and productive knowledge-based status collectively anchor regulatory and procurement-side access within the domestic market.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Sangoma Technologies: Canadian provider of Asterisk-based UC, PBX, and SBC solutions plus FreeSWITCH — the same open-source foundations Nasim Telecom builds on. Sangoma offers commercial IP-PBX, call center, and SIP trunking products that directly compete with Simotel in any open VoIP market.
• AudioCodes: Israel-based vendor of SBC, VoIP gateways, and IP phones serving enterprises and operators worldwide. AudioCodes' SBC portfolio competes head-to-head with Nasim's SBC product, particularly in regulated carrier environments and VoLTE/IMS deployments.
• 3CX: Software-based PBX and contact center vendor with channel-led distribution. 3CX targets the same SMB and enterprise segment as Simotel/Hosted PBX with a comparable subscription licensing model.
• TelcoBridges: Canadian vendor specializing in SBC, media gateways, and IMS core platforms for service providers. TelcoBridges is one of the closest small-vendor comparables to Nasim's operator-grade softswitch/SBC/IMS stack.

Broad incumbents

• Avaya: Global incumbent in unified communications, contact center, and IP-PBX serving large enterprises and government customers. Avaya's UCaaS/CCaaS suite overlaps with Nasim's Simotel and Hosted PBX offerings at the high end of the enterprise market.
• Cisco (BroadSoft): Cisco's BroadWorks platform is a leading carrier-grade UCaaS solution, and its Webex Contact Center overlaps with Nasim's call center stack. Cisco represents the global incumbent standard against which Nasim's IMS/SBC competes in operator RFPs.
• Genesys: Global leader in cloud contact center (CCaaS) with deep enterprise and government deployments. Genesys is the relevant incumbent comparable for Nasim's call center and AI call monitoring initiatives.
• Twilio: Cloud communications platform offering programmable voice, SIP trunking, and Flex contact center. Twilio is comparable as an alternative communications stack Nasim customers might evaluate, particularly for cloud-native telephony.
• Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise: Enterprise communications and networking vendor with Rainbow UCaaS and OmniPCX Enterprise platforms. ALE competes with Nasim's full-stack PBX/IMS offering in mid-market and government segments globally.

Emerging players

• Five9: Pure-play cloud CCaaS vendor focused on AI-powered contact center capabilities. Five9 is comparable to Nasim's AI call monitoring and intelligent telephone assistant direction, particularly as Nasim shifts toward AI-augmented call center features.
