Passengera
Passengera is a Czech supplier of onboard connectivity, WiFi and infotainment platforms for rail and public transport, headquartered in Prague and deployed with operators in Europe, the Caucasus, the Middle East and New Zealand.
Passengera delivered its first onboard infotainment project in 2012 under the Czech technology company Simac Technik and has operated under its own brand since 2015. Headquarters and product development are based in Prague. The company reports approximately 28 employees in its profile with ACRI, the Czech railway industry association, of which it is a member.
Products and services
The company’s products sit on the vehicle side of rail connectivity and communications: a modular onboard platform combining vehicle-to-ground connectivity, passenger WiFi, infotainment and passenger information systems (PIS). The platform is built around multi-service onboard gateways running the company’s own operating system, PassengeraOS.
A separate hardware-agnostic layer hosts onboard applications as containers — captive portal, infotainment, PIS controller and third-party software — on a single device. A cloud-based monitoring and management suite provides centralised fleet and content management.
Connectivity options include multi-radio 5G gateways and Starlink for Rail as a satellite add-on for areas without mobile network coverage. Onboard WiFi and passenger connectivity forms the core of the platform, which also serves as an integration point for other onboard systems such as ticketing, closed-circuit television (CCTV), telematics and automated passenger counting.
Certifications and references
By the company’s own account, it holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certification as well as IEC 62443-4-1, the cybersecurity standard for secure product development in industrial automation and control systems. Its rail references begin with Czech Railways, where the platform traces back to the 2012 Pendolino project and where 5G support was rolled out through the same gateways in Railjet and selected EuroCity/InterCity coaches from early 2025.
Rhaetian Railway in Switzerland has had infotainment, connectivity and passenger analytics on the Bernina Express since 2016, and further listed rail clients include MÁV, KiwiRail, CFR Călători and Azerbaijan Railways. Flixbus was an early client alongside Czech Railways, and the customer base spans national and private rail operators, urban transit authorities and bus operators.
Current activity
According to ACRI, Passengera exhibited at TRAKO 2025 in Gdańsk on the association’s joint stand, presenting its G8 multi-service gateways with a containerised edge computing platform already in use with PKP Intercity, and in January 2026 took part in a modernisation of Georgian Railways’ Stadler KISS trains, deploying WiFi 6 access points and its management platform on the Tbilisi–Batumi route.
