Calypso® products
Infineon has a wide offering of products and solutions to serve the access and transport applications based on the open standard Calypso®.
The Calypso standard supports three solutions: Calypso Prime, Calypso Light and Calypso Basic. All products are part of the same family, sharing the same security mechanisms and the same unique software in the reader. This ensures compatibility and eases the integration by maintaining the required level of protection. The three solutions are compliant with international standards, independently certified, and designed to share the same data model while keeping a low footprint in the terminal’s software to manage ticketing transactions.
The security controllers of Infineon bring a robust level of security according to the use case and offer the best security fit for either multi-application use cases or more simple occasional users. The great performing contactless speed of the different Infineon controllers enables very competitive transaction times compared with other products in the field.
Calypso® PRIME is designed for transportation and multi-application, ready for multi-service and mobile. Calypso® LIGHT is focused on transport, events, access control, perfect for occasional users. Calypso® basic for contactless paper tickets, done right, at the lowest cost, for a full contactless ticketing.
The most advanced card in the Calypso range. Flexible ticketing across a wide range of applications and platforms, adapted to smartphones and designed for interoperability. Based on open standards Calypso Prime enables access for multiple applications in the same card. Use Calypso Prime to simultaneously build an affordable contactless ticketing system for public transport, offer every possible tariff and fare, benefit from interoperability between different networks/transport types and connect with a citizen card, combining transport ticketing with access control to different city or state services.

Basic is the perfect product to complement the range of Calypso cards, for passengers that only use public transport occasionally. Use Basic to benefit from a low-cost – but highly secured – contactless ticket, bringing an efficient solution to single- and few- trip usage.
