What r2p Group does

r2p Group, headquartered in Flensburg, Germany, and founded in 2009, develops and sells intelligent technology systems for the public transport sector, with operations spanning 45 countries and wholly-owned subsidiaries in Germany, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Spain, Australia, Malaysia, the United States, Canada, and India. The company is organized around three proprietary platforms: Horizon, a unified modular CCTV video management platform with modules for fleet management, status monitoring, live streaming, video sharing, alarm management, automatic passenger counting (APC, marketed at greater than 95% accuracy), and a SIL 2 certified digital rear-view monitor; NetSpire, a rail-focused Passenger Information System (PIS) and Public Address (PA) platform with modules for train radio, integrated communication systems (ICS), Train Control & Management System (TCMS), signalling, VoIP help points, and EN50155-compliant LCD/LED displays; and iConnex, a real-time passenger information (RTI) system for bus operators and local authorities that ingests SIRI, NaPTAN, and TransXChange feeds, supports timetable management, predictions, performance reporting, traffic light priority, and display content management.

The company's business model is project-based and quote-driven, combining hardware sales (cameras, displays, recorders, help points, public address equipment), software and platform licensing across the three brands, system integration and commissioning services for fleet-wide and station deployments, and recurring maintenance and managed services. Customers are predominantly public transport operators, transit authorities, railway operators, vehicle builders (OEMs), and local authorities, with named engagements including the Ottawa Confederation Line LRT, the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) Customer Facing Information System and Passenger Assistance Intercom upgrades, and a 72-train EMU deployment in Australia. Distribution is conducted through direct enterprise field sales supported by regional Managing Directors and project engineering teams in each subsidiary market, supplemented by ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus, KBA, and CHAS certifications that qualify r2p for safety-critical transit procurement. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the company is privately held with co-CEOs Flemming Kær and Huschke Diekmann and Group CFO Theis Bruun.

Core offering

r2p Group develops and sells intelligent technology systems for public transport, including mobile CCTV surveillance, automatic passenger counting, passenger information systems, public address systems, and real-time tracking systems. The company offers three core proprietary platforms: Horizon (unified CCTV fleet management), NetSpire (passenger information and public address for rail), and iConnex (real-time passenger information for bus operators and local authorities). These integrated solutions combine hardware (cameras, displays, help points, recorders) with proprietary software platforms, delivered through direct enterprise sales to transit operators, railway companies, and vehicle builders worldwide.

Product overview

r2p Group offers an integrated portfolio of three core product platforms for public transport: Horizon (CCTV Solutions), NetSpire (PIS/PA), and iConnex (RTI). Horizon is a unified modular video management platform providing fleet management, status monitoring, live video streaming, alarm management, and video sharing capabilities, with add-on modules for SIL 2 rear-view monitoring, saloon CCTV, forward-facing cameras, and automatic passenger counting. NetSpire is a flexible passenger information and public address platform for rail applications, offering modular components including train radio, integrated communication systems, TCMS, signalling, help points, displays, and public address systems. iConnex provides real-time passenger information for bus operators and local authorities with modules for vehicle tracking, prediction engine, timetable management, data integration from SIRI/NaPTAN/TXC feeds, performance analytics, traffic light priority, and content management. These three platforms work together to provide comprehensive passenger information, video surveillance, and communication solutions for public transport operators.

Direct peers

• INIT Innovations in Transportation: German-headquartered provider of integrated ITS, telematics, and passenger information solutions for public transit authorities. Closest direct competitor given shared German heritage, transit authority focus, and comparable modular platform architecture (MOBILE-ITCS, COPILOT, MOBILEguide).
• Dilax Systems: Germany-based specialist in automatic passenger counting (APC) and occupancy data for public transport. Direct overlap with r2p's APC module and broader transit-customer base; both sell into bus and rail operators seeking fleet-wide passenger counting.
• IVU Traffic Technologies: Berlin-based supplier of IT systems for public transport (planning, dispatch, ticketing, passenger information). Comparable in German roots, public transit focus, and integrated software suite covering operations and real-time information — a head-to-head competitor in iConnex RTI's market.
• Cubic Transportation Systems: US-based division of Cubic Corporation providing fare collection, real-time passenger information, and transit analytics. Overlaps with r2p's iConnex and NetSpire platforms in serving major North American transit authorities like TTC and OC Transpo.
• Trapeze Group (Modaxo): Provider of public transport software including fixed-route planning, CAD/AVL, and passenger information, now part of Modaxo. Competes directly with iConnex RTI for bus operator and municipal authority contracts in North America and Europe.

Broad incumbents

• Siemens Mobility: Global rail OEM and systems integrator offering onboard communication, passenger information, and CCTV as part of full train solutions. Competes with r2p as a bundling incumbent that can absorb PIS/PA/CCTV scope into broader train tenders.
• Hitachi Rail: Major rail systems provider offering onboard and wayside passenger information, signalling, and fleet management. Overlaps with r2p's NetSpire and Horizon scope and competes through large bundled rail programs worldwide.
• Alstom: Global rolling stock OEM and signalling supplier providing passenger information, CCTV, and onboard communication as part of integrated train deliveries. Competes with r2p at the platform level on major tenders such as those served by NetSpire.
• Genetec: Canadian provider of unified security and video management (Security Center, AutoVu, Omnicast) with a strong transit vertical. Adjacent competitor to r2p's Horizon platform in mobile CCTV and video management for buses and trains.

Emerging players

• Samsara: US-based connected operations platform with fleet telematics, video-based safety, and industrial IoT. Increasingly competes with Horizon's fleet management, status monitoring, and CCTV capabilities for bus and paratransit fleets.
