Smart Objects are portable and secure e-medias providing users secure connectivity to personal computers as well as the Internet. They feature a large memory capacity and processing power in addition to standard contactless smart cards capabilities.
ASK and NEOWAVE are teaming up to deliver new state-of-the-art media for secure transactions in mass transit applications. Under the agreement, ASK will distribute the Weneo range of Neowave Smart Objects including versions based on ASK TanGO Operating System, providing Calypso compliance.
Offering the same functionalities and security as contactless smart cards, Weneo Smart Objects from Neowave are empowering mass transit end-users with new possibilities and services: on-line token reloading, on-line profile and rights update, direct access to operators websites, and secure data mass storage.
The partnership could mean new opportunities for the companies, according to Michel Leduc, vice president of sales and marketing for Neowave. Amand Cochet, ASK vice president of sales and marketing, commented on Neowave’s offering saying that “Neowave develops Smart Objects solutions to go beyond mass transit end-user expectations and this fits totally our strategy.” ![[end]](/resources/bullet/archive-4.gif)
