All About trax

trax is an advanced GPS tracking and mobile connectivity system unlike any other. Using our onboard computer and your local high-speed 3G or 4G wireless connection, trax creates value for both rider and operator alike, lowering operating costs, offering revenue generation opportunities and increasing ridership.

Built for those who know transit

trax was created in partnership with the National Research Council’s Institute for Information Technology to meet the needs of the Canada’s transit authorities.  

Built to leverage the power of 3G and 4G networks, trax can help increase ridership with features that have never before been available to patrons of municipal transit.

Totally Modular. Totally Cost-Effective.

The trax system allows mass transit operators to choose only the features they need and want. Using the power of our onboard computer, redeYe, the technology can be easily programmed to meet the unique needs of any mass transit system, making life easier and more efficient for administrators and offering riders a whole new transit experience.

Using the power of 3G and 4G Wireless Networks.

trax was designed around Red Ball Internet’s hands-on knowledge of advanced wireless 3G and 4G networks. Unique features like Onboard Mobile Wi-Fi for riders, Live Streaming Mobile Video for security and even GPS-Based Video Advertising can all be part of the trax experience thanks to our efforts to maximize the power of today’s advanced wireless networks. If you’ve got 3G or 4G access in your transit area, trax can help.
