Wide selection of Calypso tickets available at nagels
Calypso® is an open, secure standard for ticketing, always with a focus on flexible and long-term usable products. It is used in more than 25 countries and over 170 cities worldwide and was developed by transport companies and authorities for transport companies and authorities to ensure long-term usability and sustainability.
The Calypso® product portfolio at nagels
nagels offers two paper-based products from the Calypso® system in its product portfolio - the Calypso® Light Ticket and the Calypso® Basic Ticket.
Common technical advantages
Both ticket versions are characterized by a high level of security and fast, contactless transactions. They are produced using the same data model and can be managed in the customer terminals using the same software. This technical feature offers an enormous advantage when switching from one ticket version to another. There are little to no conversion costs if a Calypso® product has already been used in the past.
The differences between the two tickets are in the details. While the Calypso® Light Ticket contains its own operating system with the TimeCOS® CLAP, the Calypso® Basic Ticket is provided with the Calypso® Filestructure directly during chip production by Infineon. It does not require an extra operating system. In addition, a significantly smaller chip is built into the nagels Basic Ticket compared to the Light Ticket. This is also rechargeable and reusable, but only one Calypso® product can be loaded and not two, as with the Light.
