April 2014 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
The Open Standard for Public Transport (OSPT™) Alliance announced that Morpho (Safran) has joined the organization as a Full Member.
Morpho is a high-technology company of Safran, an international technology group that focuses on aerospace, defense, and security. As a pioneer in identification and detection systems, and a major player in smart card solutions, the industry recognizes Morpho for its outstanding core technologies, advanced skills, and benchmark expertise.
The OSPT Alliance offers the CIPURSE open security standard to address transit authorities’ need for future-proof fare collection systems with advanced security. As an open standard, CIPURSE promotes vendor neutrality and cross-vendor system interoperability with reduced technology adoption risks, higher quality and improved market responsiveness—all of which can result in lower operating costs and greater flexibility for transport system operators. CIPURSE also offers a global basis for rapidly migrating transit fare systems to NFC-enabled mobile phones and other devices, and the standard supports the adoption of NFC transit applications for a truly future-proof solution.
