Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation ticketing system selected the NXP microcontroller IC Plus

NXP Semiconductors (NXP SemIConductors) today announced that the Los Angeles MTA (LA Metro) will become the worlds first NXP Plus non-contact technology used in automatic fare collection infrastructure, transport operating agencies. Los Angeles MTA is using the original system based on MIFARE Classic technology, is currently out on the traffic access card (referred to as the TAP card) upgrade, the upgraded card will contain the TAP Plus microcontroller smart card IC. MTA Los Angeles, the Los Angeles area * Pan-year carry about 4.8 billion passengers, the passengers can not only enjoy the "touch-pass" to experience the convenience of transportation, but also enjoy the Plus CPU chip technology with advanced non-contact safety ticketing system. Los Angeles MTA

Jane Matsumoto, executive vice president, said: "The primary objective of the MTA in Los Angeles through the easy to use, safe and PCM1718E datasheet and reliable non-contact cutting-edge technology, bringing ease and PCM1718E price and convenience of rail passengers travel experience . to ensure that safety is our key requirements of the system, and PCM1718E suppliers and NXPs Plus CPU chips proved to meet our security features and excellent scalability of all needs. With Plus CPU chips, the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation deployed traffic ticket service system can not only provide exceptional convenience for passengers, but also anticipate future security requirements. "

NXPs market-leading non-contact system column technology is widely used around the world transport network and access management. Plus CPU card chip is the latest achievement of the series, can reach the industrys highest performance and security standards, including 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) password, but also from existing MIFARE Classic infrastructure for easy migration. NXP

automatic toll collection system, general manager of Henri Ardevol said: "can cooperate with the Los Angeles MTA, the worlds most populous cities to provide services, fully proved NXP is a market with high standards to leading non-contact solutions. In addition to the existing MIFARE system with backward compatibility outside, Plus CPU card chip also uses the open standard encryption technology, the relevant cost-effective solutions, and meet the needs of public transport.

Plus CPU support the advance of new cards, old cards, and sharing of infrastructure-based software update, and therefore easier to develop migration plans. After upgrading the system infrastructure, service operators will be based organizations to the scene cards Plus CPU technology to easily switch to a higher security level without the need for waste re-issued a new card or cards.
