"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)"
Note from asker:
So, "iso à" is some form of "equivalent to"? Can you tell me anything further about "iso à"?

agree Clair Pickworth : yes, and agree for "iso"

Thanks!
disagree Johannes Gleim : I doubt as 3G is a standard laid out by ISO.

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

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.
