The new Triptick Halo is a robust NFC reader that only requires integration with one validator, thereby simplifying a solution that typically requires several readers and validators across multiple entrance/exit points throughout a transport station.

In high-density urban areas, where efficient and reliable public transportation is a necessity, it is important to maintain reliable and swift operations at the lowest cost possible. Through its single user interface, Triptick Halo offers compliance to strict contactless payment standards, as well as reading capabilities of 1D/2D barcodes, and NFC/RFID tickets and tokens from mobile phones, tablets, wearables, contactless cards and paper in any orientation. Its intuitive and quick interface for data reading and writing translates into improved passenger throughput and higher efficiency for operators.

Triptick Halo features an LED illumination halo ring and Ethernet connectivity that provide unobstructed status view and loud sounder feedback, resulting in effective reading accuracy and speed. The reader can be mounted on a surface, pole or desk, and meets IP54 dust and water ingress protection rating, making it ideal for areas with harsh environmental conditions.

Triptick Halo was recently on display at HID Global’s stand at this year’s Transport Ticketing Global in London.
