Contactless ticketing provider 647 Vix Technology has been awarded the prestigious Contactless and Mobile Awards (CMA) 2014 award for Successful Implementation in the Public Domain for the Vix Technology Australia UTA Farepay system.

The UTA Farepay solution, which is deployed in Salt Lake City, US, utilises Vix’s eO fare collection system, a hosted system designed to enable transit agencies to electronically collect fares from passengers in a more affordable, secure, and open manner than proprietary smartcard fare collection systems.

According to Vix, the eO fare collection system was the First commercial fare collection system to support the use of contactless EMV cards from all major issuers including Visa, MasterCard and American Express.

eO incorporates traditional ticket types e.g. pay-as-you-go, period passes, zone/distance based, multi-ride, concessionary, multi-modal and inter-operator transfers. However, the company says eO’s flexibility allows for the implementation of best fare calculations.

Accepting the award, Matthew Beeton, Vix’s global chief operating officer, said “Vix are extremely pleased to be awarded this accolade. It is one of a number of recent awards we have received for the eO product platform and further demonstrates our ability to deliver world class services and our commitment to working hand in hand with our valued partners”
