Gemalto, the digital security provider, has been recognised by two analyst firms as the No. 1 supplier of contactless and mobile solutions for public transportation. Juniper Research and IHS have published independent reports that score the company highly for its market position and international presence in implementing a series of pioneering near field communications (NFC, a contactless technology) applications for major public transportation networks.
Transport providers in over 50 cities and countries are now using Gemalto's solutions, including metro systems in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong. These schemes have enabled dramatic improvements in customer services and efficiency, resulting in better experience and shorter queues for commuters. Gemalto's solutions also offer operators the opportunity to host additional value-added applications such as payment, access or mobile marketing, leading to new partnerships with other merchants and enterprises.
Juniper highlighted Gemalto's pivotal position in the NFC market, supported by an extensive international presence*. IHS reports, which cover transport card shipment volumes, also rank Gemalto as No. 1 for share of this worldwide market**.
"These reports confirm Gemalto as the perfect companion on the journey towards seamless contactless travel. Our solutions are hugely experienced with transport operators and their partners like system integrators, mobile operators and banks to deliver successful and scalable outcomes," said Serge Barbe, Senior Vice President of Embedded Software and Card Management for Gemalto. "Furthermore, there is no doubt that deployments on train, bus and metro networks are rapidly familiarising consumers with the new benefits of contactless and mobile payment transactions that take an increasing part in their everyday life."
