Staex and MIBO Announce Strategic Partnership to Bring Trusted IoT Connectivity to Public Transport

Berlin, 17.03.2025 – Staex, an award-winning innovator in zero-trust IoT connectivity and network management, is partnering with MIBO, a German bus fleet company operating 150 buses in Nordrhein-Westfalen, to revolutionize public transportation data management. This partnership ensures MIBO’s fleet data is secure, verifiable, and ready for integration into the Web3 ecosystem.

What This Partnership Brings

• Optimized Fleet Operations
  MIBO can now optimize routes, reduce fuel consumption, and cut costs while ensuring accurate CO₂ tracking for sustainability.
• Secure, Verifiable Data
  Each vehicle directly signs its data, preventing tampering or falsification. Key metrics such as passenger counts and CO₂ emissions are stored on-chain, ensuring transparency and compliance with European regulations.
• Faster Payments & New Revenue Streams
  On-chain verified passenger counts speed up municipal payments. MIBO is also testing new ways to share and commercialize anonymized data.

Already Running on MIBO Buses

Staex technology is deployed as a testbed, paving the way for projects that enhance transportation efficiency and urban mobility.

MIBO at the Forefront of Innovation

• Unmatched Data Security
  Staex ensures that MIBO’s data remains private, secure, and protected against cyber threats. The system is designed to be less hackable and fully compliant with data sovereignty requirements.
• New Revenue Streams
  MIBO is already testing a multi-stakeholder environment, enabling anonymized data sharing and commercialization opportunities.
• Enhanced Urban Planning & Sustainability
  Accurate CO₂ tracking allows cities to optimize bus routes based on real usage data. If a bus line is underutilized, authorities can adjust stops and schedules for improved efficiency and sustainability.

Ensuring Data Sovereignty with Open Telekom Cloud

As a participant in TechBoost, Deutsche Telekom's startup program, Staex has the opportunity to leverage the Open Telekom Cloud (OTC) to guarantee data sovereignty, security, and compliance with European regulations. OTC operates highly secure data centers in Germany and the Netherlands, ensuring that mobility data remains protected under strict EU standards. By utilizing OTC’s infrastructure, Staex ensures that sensitive transport data is stored and processed in a fully compliant and secure environment.

Staex is a secure public network for IoT devices that can not run a VPN such as smart meters, IP cameras, and EV chargers. Staex encrypts legacy protocols, reduces mobile data usage, and simplifies building networks with complex topologies through its unique multi-hop architecture. Staex is fully zero-trust meaning that no traffic is allowed unless specified by the device owner which makes it more secure than even some private networks. With this, Staex creates an additional separation layer to provide more security for IoT devices on the Internet, also protecting other Internet services from DDoS attacks that are usually executed on millions of IoT machines.
