Gemalto launches multi-city ticketing solution for mobile phones
November 2015 by Marc Jacob
Gemalto is launching the next generation of its UpTeq Multi-Tenant NFC SIM, supporting multiple transport applications from different city networks by embedding the MIFARE4Mobile1 v2 application. This is the first globally interoperable solution on the market allowing the use of an NFC smart phone to work on all MIFARE Classic and DESFire transport networks such as the ones in Los Angeles, Stockholm, Madrid and many more.
Gemalto’s advanced solution meets the latest industry standards for mobile ticketing and heralds a new era of ’global roaming’ for commuters, opening the door to swift and secure contactless access to public transport across different cities or countries. It is compatible with existing infrastructures and makes the need to carry several tickets or travel cards become a thing of the past. Simultaneously transportation providers can enjoy efficient deployment of enhanced digital ticketing services and savings on operation costs via a fully standardized mobile solution.
The solution brings a true universal approach to the transport market. In addition, transport mobile applications already offering features such as loyalty programs and travel information can now benefit from ticketing service securely stored in the Secure Element.
