With its broad portfolio and advanced technology ITG provides solutions that are specifically tailored to the converging markets of public transport and financial transactions supporting current and future enhancements like contactless automatic fare collection. As a business member ITG will present its latest products and solutions at the APTA Fare collection workshop in March.

In North America public transport companies have already started to collect fares automatically via contactless technologies. ITG, the merger of ACG, Omnikey, Sokymat, VisionCard and Novacard do Brasil, supports this change with technologies and products like NFC (near field communication) and advanced MasterCard PayPass enabled tags and readers.

"The APTA membership allows us to meet and network with industry representatives from throughout North America," says René van Ryt, head of the public transport business segment of Assa Abloy ITG. "We consider it a unique platform to raise our visibility and strengthen our reputation in this important market."
