Fältcom’s Linux-based MIIPS is already used by the DOT in a program which connects buses and digital displays to provide travel information in real time via mobile apps and at New York City's 16,000 bus stops. It is also found in a wide range of connected devices from 609 Volvo’s test cars to Swedish weather stations, buses, street lights and speed cameras.
