iRidium mobile was founded in 2006. We began with creating projects of home automation and automation of home theatres.
When iPhone appeared on the market, we had a striking idea to use it for controlling home automation. And that is how it all began.

The first employee of the company was Marat Gilyazetdinov.
He had a 18-year experience in programming and he had realized a great number of software projects.
He got interested in automaton systems and studied AMX, Modbus systems. It was his brilliant idea to create iRidium project.
