Vix Technology Delivers Speedy Commute for U.S. Public Transit Systems with Hosting and Data Center Services from Internap
A global transportation solutions innovator with its worldwide headquarters in Australia and U.S. headquarters in Seattle,Vix transforms the way people connect and commute, with projects including the Hong Kong Octopus Card, Singapore EzLink, Beijing ACC and the Melbourne Metcard. Vix EFC solutions allow commuters to pay fares using their NFC-enabled mobile devices, transit, banking, or prepaid contactless cards. Vix’s EFC systems also provide sophisticated public transportation features on demand, such as checking card balances, adding funds and planning and tracking journeys. Horizon, Vix’s Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) solution, provides real-time performance tools for transit operator schedule adherence and fleet tracking.
Vix partnered with Internap to support its deployment of Seattle’s transit card system, which allows passengers to use a single card for a variety of transportation options, including bus, train, ferry and light rail. Vix transitioned from independently hosting its MASS EFC platform to a data center services partnership with Internap that meets its complete hosting, colocation and network acceleration needs. Vix is now also leveraging Internap’s services to support Vix’s ITS solution for vehicle management in Martha’s Vineyard and the soon-to-launch update to its open card EFC system that has been running in Salt Lake City since 2009.
