CityGO Calypso ticketing product range IDEMIA

Trusted by 160 transport networks and cities around the world, Calypso™ is the most used transport ticketing open standard in the world. This fosters innovation focusing on interoperability, top-notch security and end-user convenience. As a strong advocate of open standard benefits and long-standing member of the Calypso Network Association (CNA), IDEMIA actively participates in developing the Calypso™ standard.

IDEMIA’s cityGO Calypso™ products are all CNA-certified. These multi-application cards can be used as public transport cards and student cards (access management, canteen, library, etc.) or “citizen daily life” cards to use public services (library, swimming-pool, recycling center, etc.).

The cityGO Calypso™ range includes the IDEMIA COSMO Fly v6, the first CNA-certified Java Open card to encompass both payment and transport capabilities.
