Whether it’s cross-border coverage, reception at challenging locations,
high or low data streams – FUSION IoT develops the SIM tariff that is precisely tailored to your needs.
For cost-effectiveness and efficiency.

SMART TOURISM: DIGITALIZATION IN PUBLIC TRANSPORT – RELIABLE BILLING WITH IOT SIM

INDUSTRY: Mobility, tourism, public transport

In local public transport, more and more transport companies are relying on reliable digital solutions for billing. One particularly efficient option is the use of tablets with FUSION IoT SIM cards. Bus drivers have the necessary Internet reception at all times and in all places and can therefore record ticket sales directly via the tablet and transmit the data to the central billing system in real time.

Thanks to national roaming, the SIM cards are always logged into the best available network – even in rural regions with weak network coverage. The 1 kB clocking ensures particularly precise and cost-efficient billing of data consumption. In addition, an IMEI lock protects against misuse by ensuring that the SIM card can only be used in the intended device. All active SIM cards can be conveniently managed and monitored via the central myFUSION platform. This makes digital billing not only simpler and more secure, but also future-proof.

CHALLENGES

  • Unreliable connection – tickets cannot be sold or billed digitally en route, especially in dead spots or rural areas. The resulting cumbersome manual recording or notes during the journey are stressful for the driver, confusing and error-prone.
  • Delayed data transmission & loss of time – Without a direct connection to the central system, there is unnecessary additional work due to subsequent billing – a real obstacle to digitization in public transport
  • Frustration among passengers and staff in the event of technical failures due to delays
  • Security risks due to missing device binding – SIM cards can be misused without a device lock(IMEI lock) – a security risk that modern digital infrastructure in public transport should avoid
  • No central management of SIM cards – no overview of active SIM cards, consumption or usage locations

SOLUTION REQUIREMENTS

  • All networks in Germany
  • Cross-border connection in border regions
  • Reliable real-time data transmission
  • 1 kB clocking for cost-efficient billing
  • IMEI lock to protect against unauthorized use of the SIM

BENEFITS

  • Reliable connectivity in real time – Thanks to national roaming, you always use the best available network – even in rural areas. This makes digitalization in public transport possible even outside the cities
  • Real-time data transmission & automatic billing – ticket sales are immediately transmitted to the central system, reducing effort, speeding up processes and increasing billing accuracy
  • Stable operation & fewer breakdowns in everyday life – reliable IoT connectivity ensures trouble-free operation, which increases satisfaction among staff and passengers
  • More security through device binding (IMEI lock) – protects against unauthorized use and ensures secure implementation of digitalization in public transport
  • Central management and analysis of all SIM cards via the myFUSION platform
  • Cost-efficient thanks to 1 kB clocking – ideal for small data volumes such as ticket transmission in public transport
