The CIPURSE™ Terminal Library: Fast-track your CIPURSE™ reader implementation

CIPURSE™ is an Open Standard for transport ticketing that is fast gaining adoption. It presents a great opportunity for reader and terminal equipment manufacturers. The CIPURSE™ Terminal Library (CTL) is a tool which can enable equipment manufacturers to quickly implement CIPURSE™ support in their products. It is a portable library distributed in ANSI C and Java sources which is available from Infineon. In this paper, we examine what CIPURSE™ is and what capabilities the CTL offers. We describe the various reader architectures which can integrate the CTL and give examples of commercially available readers which have already done so in a short time. We explain why the CTL is the smart way to fast-track the implementation of any CIPURSE™ reader. Infineon shares the conviction of the Open Standard for Public Transport (OSPT) Alliance that the future belongs to open standards. Having interoperable equipment compliant to open standards is essential to realizing this vision. The adoption of the CTL in reader and terminal equipment embraces openness and ensures compliance.
