Australian-based Vix ERG has been awarded a 1.7M Euro contract to supply its new range of iVal products to the city of Bolzano, Italy for its public transit system.
Vix ERG will deliver 1,050 magnetic and contactless V6000 validators and 630 contactless CP6500 validators to the city to enable more efficient ticket and smart card issuance, smart card loading and fare processing on buses, station platforms, point of sale sites and ticket offices.
The platform is based on ERG’s Viper card reader family and provides support to a future upgrade path to NFC and EMV.
“This supply is of great technological importance to the Provincia di Bolzano, who are completely rethinking the current fare structure and are expecting to introduce a new check in/check out system early next year,” said John Ottaviani, Vix ERG’s Technical Manager in the region.
