Intersec celebrates its 20th anniversary and reflects on the launch of FR-Alert

Technological innovation and AI serving safety

Paris, April 3, 2025 - Intersec, a global leader in mobile data analytics and geolocation solutions, continues its expansion in the fields of civil protection, homeland security, and telecommunications. As Europe seeks to strengthen its sovereignty, the company offers government ministries a wide range of innovative applications, from emergency call location to counter-terrorism efforts and population alert systems during crises. Additionally, Intersec enables telecom operators to leverage their data for new 5G services while ensuring rigorous data protection.

Intersec stands out with its big data platform capable of real-time analysis of mobile network metadata. Its technology is used by clients covering over one billion mobile phones worldwide. The company enhances public safety through public warning systems and emergency management solutions. By providing precise real-time data on population flows, it helps authorities optimize response during natural disasters, industrial accidents, or pandemics. These insights also support the development of smart cities by offering a deeper understanding of urban dynamics and infrastructure usage.

The company notably oversaw the deployment of FR-Alert, the French Ministry of the Interior's public warning system, operational since 2022, with several national operators. This system sends geolocated alerts to mobile phones in case of imminent danger, covering 95% of the population (mainland France and overseas territories). Integrated into a comprehensive multichannel system—including sirens and, in the near future, social networks—FR-Alert enhances the responsiveness and efficiency of emergency services. This technical achievement has positioned it as a flagship in the tech industry. Beyond France, Intersec extends its expertise to governments and telecom operators in over 50 countries.

Yann Chevalier, CEO of Intersec, emphasizes: "Our location intelligence and data analytics technology not only saves lives during emergencies but also enables innovative new services. We are proud to contribute to population safety while prioritizing the use of sovereign and independent solutions that respect personal data."

More recently, Intersec has developed artificial intelligence capable of automatically adapting algorithms based on users' objectives. This technology provides essential support during emergencies, helping authorities select optimal communication methods tailored to the nature and progression of the situation. It further enhances crisis response by monitoring the effectiveness of measures taken and suggesting adjustments when necessary to resolve crises more efficiently. Through AI, Intersec delivers vital decision-making tools for public safety, simplifying the management of complex scenarios.

In recent years, Intersec has experienced strong growth in annual recurring revenue (ARR), increasing by 35% per year, with revenues in the €20 million range. In 2025, the company continues its expansion by reinvesting over 25% of its profits into research and development. Staying true to its mission, Intersec transforms complex and massive datasets into actionable insights that improve connectivity, safety, and user experience worldwide.
