TwinSet and C.ticket from ASK

TwinSet, a contactless smart card that combines HF and UHF features on the same card, has been launched by ASK. The UHF chip is for fast track access, such as tolling or parking access control, while the HF chip is for compliance with the existing equipment for building access control and a contact chip when necessary for logical access control.

TwinSet, a contactless smart card that combines HF and UHF features on the same card, has been launched by 150 ASK. The UHF chip is for fast track access, such as tolling or parking access control, while the HF chip is for compliance with the existing equipment for building access control and a contact chip when necessary for logical access control.

Meanwhile, the company has announced that its C.ticket contactless paper ticket range is now available with two new STMicroelectronics chips: the SRT512, a 512 bit ISO 14443 type B chip, and the SRI 2K, a 2Kbit version.

According to ASK, these two different memory size chips enhance C.ticket application possibilities in access control or multi-application use and offer mass transit operators using ISO14443 type B contactless smart cards new applications.

We should, he says, be looking to realise universal platforms with universal application. The near-future automobile contains information systems of a sophistication to rival a jet airliner of only a few years ago, yet is 'piloted' by a considerably less well-trained individual of highly variable mental and physical capacity, and operated in a hostile, unpredictable and p

The project is part of the agency’s plan to eliminate paper ticketing from its fare system to all contactless media by spring 2016. Cubic will upgrade more than 500 machines with hardware kits including smart card readers and re
