Karlsruhe/Germany - 10 September 2026

Public cloud, private cloud, hosting or on-premises? Public transport operators are facing increasingly diverse IT requirements while also having to protect their systems against growing cyber threats and adapt to rapid technological change. At InnoTrans 2026, INIT will demonstrate how operators can build secure, scalable and future-proof IT environments that fit their individual strategies. From September 22 to 25, 2026, visitors can find out more at the INIT Group booth in Hall 2.1, Booth 425.

With MOBILE-ITCS nextGen and the cloud-native ticketing platform MOBILEvario, INIT offers public transport operators the flexibility to deploy their systems where they make the most sense for their business – in a public or private cloud, as a hosted solution or on-premises in their own data center.
“Public transport operators need the freedom to shape their IT systems in line with their individual IT and investment strategies,” says INIT Managing Director Klaus Janke. “Our solutions provide exactly that flexibility while also delivering high availability and long-term future-proofing.”

Secure and easy to evolve

Modern software architecture enables operators to update their systems with less effort and lower operational risk. With MOBILE-ITCS nextGen, security patches and new features can be introduced without disrupting ongoing operations. Container technology also allows individual onboard applications to be updated or enhanced independently, simplifying maintenance and supporting the secure migration to new onboard computers.
INIT’s solutions are designed for high availability and can be adapted to different operational requirements through redundancy and security concepts. This helps operators keep critical systems running reliably while maintaining a high level of cybersecurity.

Open systems protect investments

Future-proofing also depends on the ability to integrate new technology without replacing existing systems. Open standards and standardized interfaces allow INIT solutions to work with IT systems and components from different manufacturers. This gives operators greater freedom when modernizing their infrastructure and helps reduce long-term dependencies on proprietary technologies.

Built to scale with changing mobility needs

Public transport networks are becoming more diverse, with new services, modes and digital applications being added over time. MOBILE-ITCS nextGen supports the integrated management of buses, trams, commuter rail and ferries within a single system environment. Its multi-client capability allows additional operators or modes of transport to be integrated as requirements grow.
Computing resources can also be scaled according to demand, helping operators adapt their infrastructure without having to redesign their entire system landscape.

INIT is applying the same future-oriented approach to ticketing. MOBILEvario has evolved into a cloud-native platform that combines flexible deployment with scalable infrastructure and simplified future enhancements. Projects in cities such as Atlanta and Sydney demonstrate how modern ticketing systems can be implemented securely across different IT environments.
