OSPT Alliance, a global community that enables the future of mobility services across a variety of markets including transport, ticketing, access control and micro-payment, is close to attracting 100-member companies and organisations following a highly successful first half of 2018.

> A total of 17 new members have joined the association over the last six months, representing a wide range of players across the mobility ecosystem including software developers, hardware and card manufacturers, system integrators, technology service providers and testing laboratories.

AUSTRIACARD and Elpass have joined the association as Full Members, while FIME and Keolabs have joined at the Affiliate Membership level. New Associate Members include Asensco Technologia, Autofind, Facillite, Nexus Technology, Pri-Num, Quanta-IT, San Joaquin Regional Transit District, Silone, Consorcio Sir Cuenca, solution LAB, Springcard, Tue Minh and Urbanito.

“The addition of 17 new members is further evidence of the momentum the Alliance is building in [bringing together](https://www.financedigest.com/the-digital-ir-revolution-how-new-technology-is-bringing-companies-and-shareholders-closer-together.html "The digital IR revolution: how new technology is bringing companies and shareholders closer together") the mobility industry to increase innovation and interoperability across ‘mobility as a service’ solutions,” comments Philippe Martineau, President of the Board at OSPT Alliance.

“These new members have acknowledged the value that our non-proprietary open standard CIPURSE™ can bring to their [product development](https://www.financedigest.com/tire-recycling-downstream-products-market-to-observe-strong-development-by-2019-2027.html "Tire Recycling Downstream Products Market to Observe Strong Development by 2019-2027") and deployments.”

The last [year has seen a breakthrough in the use of the CIPURSE Specification for ID and access control with a card-based driving](https://www.financedigest.com/elon-musk-focused-on-getting-self-driving-teslas-in-wide-release-by-year-end.html "Elon Musk: focused on getting self-driving Teslas in wide release by year-end") licence in Brazil and student services at a university in Cuenca, Ecuador. In addition, in June, it was announced that the CIPURSE Specification has been selected for a new automated fare collection solution trial across Moscow’s Skolkovo bus route.

Throughout 2018 OSPT Alliance continues to evolve as it focuses on demonstrating the value of CIPURSE for new [mobility services](https://www.financedigest.com/rebound-in-the-oil-gas-exploration-and-production-activities-to-boost-mobile-servicing-rig-market-fact-mr-report.html "Rebound In the Oil & Gas Exploration and Production Activities to Boost Mobile Servicing Rig Market, Fact.MR Report"). Transport ticketing remains a key priority for the association as it continues its commitment to assist the industry as it moves towards the next generation of secure, cost-effective and [open flexible fare collection solutions](https://www.financedigest.com/the-future-of-fintech-and-open-source-cloud-solutions-in-the-united-kingdom.html "The future of fintech and open source cloud solutions in the United Kingdom").

This work includes the Alliance’s ongoing contribution to HCE, through advancing the use of CIPURSE tokens in enabling contactless mobile ticketing. This software-based technology can enable [operators](https://www.financedigest.com/russian-regulator-says-mobile-operator-mts-breached-anti-monopoly-laws.html "Russian regulator says mobile operator MTS breached anti-monopoly laws") today to deliver mobile ticketing services and support Mobility as a Service (MaaS) solutions. Further information on OSPT Alliance’s HCE abilities can be found [here](http://www.osptalliance.org/resources/hce_poc_video).

Influencing activity surrounding HCE and MaaS is a benefit of OSPT Alliance membership in addition to technical standardisation and strategic activity within the Alliance, early stage [market intelligence](https://www.financedigest.com/social-business-intelligence-market-to-reach-a-valuation-of-us29-bn.html "Social Business Intelligence Market to reach a valuation of US Bn"), market influence and profile, and enhanced networking and collaboration opportunities.
