Users of „“Mon e-guichet““ log on to an RATP web portal and to order their reader, they are redirected to a dedicated Gemalto website, which takes care of all the logistics involved in the order. As soon as users receive their reader, they can top up their Navigo pass from their own PC, from home and whenever they want. To test the pilot solution, users have been chosen among the RATP customers who have indicated they are interested in receiving promotional offers. “We have chosen Gemalto for their highly reliable online sales system,” commented Philippe Martin, RATP Deputy general director – Stations, services and sales. “The successful wide-scale deployment of smart cards readers in the UK has demonstrated Gemalto’s ability to provide high-quality logistics services. Its recognized experience in this area was a determining factor in our decision.” “We are very proud to be able to offer commuters in Ile-de-France a fast and convenient solution for topping up their travelcards whenever they like, from the comfort of their own homes,” added Philippe Cambriel, Executive Vice-President of Gemalto’s Secure Transactions Business Unit. “PC Twin Reader affords them great use comfort, which will simplify their daily lives.” www.gemalto.com
