B2B telecom, cloud, and cybersecurity provider for French mid-market and enterprise
Free Pro is the B2B arm of the Groupe iliad, operating as a pure sales-led organization with 12 active sales roles against a 22-person hiring cohort. The stack reveals embedded systems engineering (Linux, Buildroot, Yocto, Go, Rust, GNU Radio) alongside modern data infrastructure (PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, RAG), suggesting dual tracks: legacy telecom hardware and emerging AI-driven customer intelligence. Active projects around 5G, RAG systems, and AI products signal a shift toward higher-margin solutions beyond commodity connectivity, while pain points around vendor lock-in and proprietary systems indicate engineering tension between legacy infrastructure and modern cloud positioning.
Free Pro delivers fixed and mobile connectivity, cybersecurity, IT, and cloud services to organizations across France, from small businesses to large enterprises and public sector. The company operates two product lines: standard Pro offerings for general market, and specialized XPR solutions for enterprises with 100+ employees. Founded in 2001 as part of Groupe iliad, Free Pro manages the full data lifecycle—collection, transport, security, and hosting—with stated commitments to data availability, accessibility, and integrity. The company operates a distributed support model across France and competes on price, customer service, and infrastructure depth.
Free Pro's stack spans embedded systems (Linux, Buildroot, Yocto, GNU Radio) and modern backend (Go, Rust, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL). The company is also adopting RAG and deploying AI applied products, indicating active development in large-language-model-driven features.
Active projects include 5G innovation, advanced RAG systems, AI-applied products, sales automation, lead generation campaigns, and portfolio expansion. Pain-point data shows focus on margin defense and sales forecasting accuracy.
