OMN has a new name! OMN is being renamed to mobiNET. The program is still a member-owned cooperative to develop a collaborative infrastructure for mobility and related apps.
The future of mobility is a multi-trillion economy in which mobiNET will offer mobility stakeholders and related businesses an open and inclusive core services infrastructure.
Designed by MOBI, mobiNET is a community built and operated business automation network. The protocol-agnostic business-to-business network enables all participating stakeholders to share, exchange, and monetize mobility and transit data. The core services available within mobiNET will allow all of the applications layered on top of it to communicate with each other.
The goal is to unlock monetization opportunities across mobility and transportation services by allowing application interoperability and multi-party data sharing. Consider it a “Point of Sale” network for the machine economy. Currently, the number of transactions or paired transactions for digital services are in the low billions. Edge transactions between any two IoT devices will reach the hundreds of billions in the next few years.
Compared to other platforms, mobiNET brings together companies to offer more integrated and reliable digital services within a trusted network while protecting property rights, relationships, value chain and brand.
MOBI members will co-create and co-own this network while providing safe and secure mobility for all who participate in the program.
