Expansion of the Smart Ticketing offering
Calypso® is an open, secure standard for ticketing. 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 the long-term usability and sustainability of ticketing systems.
Additional offer to Calypso Light
nagels is the first company worldwide to introduce a fully certified Calypso Basic Ticket in addition to its Calypso Light Tickets. In March, the ticket with the Calypso Basic Standard received CNA certification to ensure the compatibility and interoperability of Calypso products with each other. Thanks to the independent and transparent certification process, customers and partners worldwide can be sure that the tickets produced by nagels can be easily integrated into existing Calypso systems.
The future of smart ticketing
By expanding its range of tickets, nagels is further strengthening its position in the ticketing and smart ticketing sector. Calypso Basic is a contactless smart ticket with an ISO/IEC 14443 interface that runs a single Calypso Basic application. This ticket enables access to public transportation and can be used in an existing Calypso infrastructure. Thanks to this compatibility with the Calypso system, the associated integration effort is reduced and set-up costs are avoided. In principle, no changes to the data model are necessary and special terminals for processing Calypso Basic Tickets can be dispensed with. The Calypso Basic Ticket offers an unprecedented level of security in this product segment of tickets and is aimed in particular at passengers who use public transport on an irregular basis.
