STMicroelectronics Reveals STPay-Mobile
Platform, Driving Flexible and Scalable Virtual Ticketing and
Payments
- STPay-Mobile services connect ST54 secure SoC for mobile
devices to contactless ticketing and payment platforms
- First use case targets transit ticketing, leveraging Snowball’s
OnBoard™ platform
Geneva, February 22, 2021 – STMicroelectronics (NYSE:
STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers
across the spectrum of electronics applications, has launched
STPay-Mobile, a platform that simplifies virtualization of
security-critical public transit ticketing and payment cards on
smartphones and wearables.
STPay-Mobile helps mobile-device manufacturers leverage the
features of ST’s ST54 secure System-on-Chip (SoC) to handle
contactless transactions and protect sensitive information, such as
data and authentication credentials.
Highlighting the value STPay-Mobile adds to card virtualization,
ST has announced details of a new ticketing solution for public
transit that leverages the OnBoard™ platform created by Snowball
Technology Co. Ltd. This platform, together with STPay-Mobile
managing services on the ST54 secure SoC, lets smartphones and
wearables host virtual tickets that are easily created by transit
agencies and are convenient for travelers to buy and use.
"The ST54 product family and new STPay-Mobile services, combined
with Snowball's platform, OnBoard, join smart-device manufacturers
with public transit agencies to enable virtual ticketing for the
broadest range of globally-supported contactless card standards,"
said Snowball Technology CEO and co-founder, Ciaran Fisher.
"Snowball and ST are aligned in their vision to create products and
services that support smart, secure, and connected lifestyles.
Together, ST's secure and high-performing semiconductors and our
innovative OnBoard platform are powering the development of smart
cities in the 21st century."
“We are rolling out STPay-Mobile services to help smartphone
OEMs take advantage of the strong security and efficient NFC
support provided by ST54 SoCs to create next-generation products
that will power the future of ticketing and payment
virtualization,” said Marie-France Li-Saï Florentin,
Microcontrollers & Digital ICs Group Vice President, Secure
Microcontroller Division General Manager, STMicroelectronics.
“Connecting the STPay-Mobile services with Snowball’s OnBoard
platform has created an incredibly scalable and flexible solution
that allows transit agencies to introduce virtual cards on their
networks without changes to existing systems and
infrastructure.”
To date, Snowball’s OnBoard platform has been chosen by 50
transit agencies in over 125 cities worldwide, including all major
cities in China. The platform is compatible with over 330 different
models of smartphones and wearables from leading brands. Its urban
reach now exceeds 680 million people.
Further Technical Information
STPay-Mobile Ticketing services for the ST54 help mobile device
manufacturers address the many different types of transport
infrastructures deployed worldwide and scale their solutions
