Advantech Strengthens Commitment to Smart Public Transportation with ITxPT Membership and Certification

14.08.2026

Taipei, Taiwan, August 2026 — Advantech, a global leader in industrial IoT and in-vehicle computing solutions, today announced its official membership in the Information Technology for Public Transport (ITxPT) association and the successful ITxPT certification of two flagship products: the TREK-60 in-vehicle computer and the EKI-9508/9510-ST M12 Ethernet switches. This achievement reinforces Advantech’s role in building standardized IT architectures that drive interoperability, fleet management efficiency, and digital transformation across smart bus architectures and public transport networks.

TREK-60: The Intelligent Core of Public Transport

Designed to meet the demands of modern public transportation and smart transit environments, the TREK-60 serves as the intelligent hub for smart vehicle systems. In August 2026, it successfully passed five ITxPT test modules: Module Inventory, Time Service, GNSS Location, FMStoIP, and MQTT Broker. These certifications validate TREK-60’s ability to support standardized signal communication, simplify system integration, and reduce long-term maintenance costs. TREK-60 is known for its proprietary design for in-vehicle demands and working stability in harsh environments. With the ITxPT standard, TREK-60 becomes an ideal choice for ITxPT compliant intelligent public transportation enablement.

With powerful computing performance and rugged reliability, TREK-60 offers:

  • 8-ch PoE and optimized I/Os for real-time sensor fusion and data processing 
  • 12V/24V certified power input (E-Mark, ISO-7637-2) with dual CAN bus for stable automotive communication 
  • Rugged IP65, 5M3-certified design with resistance to shock, vibration, and wide temperature (-30 ~ 70°C) fanless operation   
  • E-Mark R10 and R118 certified

EKI-9508/9510-ST Series: Industrial M12 Ethernet Switches for Transit Networks

The EKI-9508/9510-ST M12 Ethernet switches also received ITxPT certification. Purpose-built for demanding public transportation environments, these rugged switches are engineered to simplify system integration and provide:
  • M12 connectors and IP67-rated enclosure for resistance to vibration, dust, and moisture
  • Power ignition support, maintaining operation for up to 60 minutes after the ignition is switched off
  • E-Mark R10 and R118 certified, ensuring compliance with stringent EMC and fireproof regulations for onboard applications. 
  • Module Inventory service support, ensuring real-time system visibility and enhanced interoperability

ITxPT: Standardization Driving Future-Ready Mobility

By joining ITxPT—a global, non-profit association promoting open IT specifications for public transport—Advantech contributes to establishing standardized IT architectures across vehicle systems. This framework enables:
  • Open Architecture & Interoperability across multi-vendor devices 
  • Services-Oriented Architecture (SOA) to support flexible system integration 
  • Easy Maintenance with standardized processes 
  • Standardized OTA updates for efficient lifecycle management 
  •  Scalability to meet growing fleet and data demands 
  •  Security Built-in, ensuring system reliability and data protection
Through ITxPT-certified solutions, Advantech empowers transport operators to accelerate digital transformation, streamline system integration, and deliver safer, smarter, and more sustainable passenger experiences.
