CH-Direct
The Alliance SwissPass (formerly ch-direct) is a Swiss national tariff organisation representing the interests of roughly 250 public transport companies.
With services to both travelers and the public transport industry, they are committed to further development of public transport and a customer-oriented progress in the Swiss tariff system and ticketing. The Alliance SwissPass offers products such as the general or half-fare ticket and is present throughout Switzerland. The Alliance is also responsible for the revenue and cost distribution of all participating transport companies.
The commission IT-systems, affiliated with the Alliance SwissPass, is involved in developing existing and future IT systems in respect with sales and distribution in Swiss public transport. It sets standards in the field of data exchange and ensures optimal functioning of interfaces, so that tickets can be managed centrally but sold decentrally.
The interoperability between IT systems and the technical standards of the IT architecture are becoming more and more important. The Alliance SwissPass’s expectation on joining ITxPT is the exchange of knowledge in respect of the development of technical standards for interfaces in sales and distribution.

Founded in 2011, Tronteq is a German company specialized in onboard communication sytems for Public Transport vehicles. The main focus is on robust M12 Ethernet Switches which are developed and produced in Germany. The portfolio ranges from simple Plug&Play unmanaged Fast Ethernet Switches to intelligent Gigabit Ethernet Switches that can power other IP-participants like cameras, passenger counting systems or ticket validators through one cable (Power over Ethernet). The company is mainly active on the European market and has already successfully integrated the products in Middle East and Asian markets. The main focus is now to better understand the customers and their needs, as onboard networks are getting bigger and more complex.
TRONTEQ joins ITxPT to better understand the needs of Public Transport Authorities and Operators and therefore to develop and deliver fitting products. Further TRONTEQ intends to expand its international network and expand to new markets.
