French term or phrase: 3G + iso à 3G fin 2007
This is in a bid from a large French telecommunications provider.
It appears in the section on professional capacity where the company lays out its capacity to provide the service.
Here is the complete sentence:
Solution 3G+ dans les plus grandes agglomérations françaises soit 167 agglomérations et couverture ***3G+ iso à 3G fin 2007**** et à l’étranger dans 13 pays....

not sure what this means - any help would be greatly appreciated...

3G+ coverage equivalent to 3G coverage as of the end 2007
Explanation:
"+" is a part of "3G+"

"Iso" is a standard Greek-derived prefix for equivalence. I've seen it used alone in several telecom documents - sometimes totally alone, sometimes in alternation with "isofonctionnel" etc.
In my opinion, it is merely a jargonism for "equivalent (in some terms)"

Notes to answerer
Asker: So, "iso à" is some form of "equivalent to"? Can you tell me anything further about "iso à"?


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Clair Pickworth: yes, and agree for "iso"
1 hr
  -> Thanks!
disagree  Johannes Gleim: I doubt as 3G is a standard laid out by ISO.
7 hrs
  -> The 3G standards are initiated by the industry and formally defined by the ITU (which is not part of ISO but rather a UN organization). They may be partially codified by ISO, but ISO is not their originator.

3G+ ISO 21213 to 3G until end of 2007


Explanation:
I try to translate correctly:

couverture 3G+ iso à 3G fin 2007 => covers 3G+ (additional features above standard ISO 21213) and 3G (ISO 21213).

Note: As I do not know which features are specified by "+", or whether 3G+ is a subset of ISO 21213 I cannot state more confidence.
