Fältcom’s IoT Gateway MIIPS receives the ITxPT certification

Fältcom part of Telia has officially received the ITxPT label for the IoT-Gateway MIIPS stating that the unit is compliant with the ITxPT standard for public transport.

The ITxPT labelling means that the MIIPS unit from Fältcom part of Telia is compatible with the open architecture of ITxPT to enable interoperability between systems and devices from different suppliers in public transport fleets. Customers using ITxPT certified units, such as the MIIPS, have the flexibility to tailor and update their systems according to their specific needs at substantially lower cost.

The MIIPS unit is a communication gateway for onboard installation that enables systems and devices in a vehicle to operate through the cloud, making it possible to e.g. download vehicle data, control, survey, update and configurate IT-systems in the vehicle from a distance. The unit and its associated back-office systems are used by Public Transport Operators and Public Transport Authorities to increase efficiency and enhance passenger experience in Public Transport through applications such as passenger count, positioning, eco driving, internet onboard, camera surveillance, driver’s alarm, VoIP, message push, driver ID, digital signs, remote download of tachograph data and many more. 

The ITxPT laboratory performed several tests on the MIIPS, both remote and physical, and the unit successfully completed all stages of the test procedure for the parts Module Inventory, Time and MQTT Broker, according to the ITxPT specifications S01 v2.0.1 & S02 v2.0. The 6420 Fältcom MIIPS Committo A-LG is now included in the ITxPT catalogue of compliant equipment.
