Principal Products or Services and their Markets
The company's principal products and services, across its two wholly owned subsidiaries, Apeiron Systems, Inc. (Apeiron Systems) and IM Telecom (IM Telecom, LLC (doing business as Infiniti Mobile)), include its CPaaS (Communications Platform as a Service) suite of services (SIP/VoIP (Voice over IP) and SMS/MMS), wholesale and retail mobile voice and mobile data IoT (Internet of Things) services, wholesale voice termination services, and its ETC (Eligible Telecommunications Carrier) and ACP (Affordable Connectivity Program) subsidized services for low-income Americans. Except for the company's ETC Lifeline services distributed in up to ten (10) states and its ACP services distributed in the fifty (50) states, as well as Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico, its Apeiron Systems' products and services are available worldwide and subject to the U.S., international and local/national regulations.
The company generates revenue from two primary sources, Hosted Services and Mobile Services:
The company's Hosted Services include a suite of hosted CPaaS services within the Apeiron Systems' cloud platform, including Cloud IVRs, Voicemail, Fax, Call Recording and other services provided with local, toll-free and international phone numbers.

The company's Mobile Services include retail and wholesale cellular voice/text/data services and IoT mobile data services through its subsidiaries Apeiron Systems and IM Telecom. Mobile voice/text/data and IoT mobile data services are supported by a blend of reseller agreements with select national wireless carriers and national wireless wholesalers.

Sometimes equipment is provided, which can include, but is not limited to, phones, tablets, modems, routers and accessories.
