The software manufacturer AMCON has successfully passed the VDV-KA certification of the AMCON.MOBILE software in combination with the Android test device Point Mobile PM95.
Cloppenburg, December 10, 2024 – AMCON Software GmbH, a leading provider of software solutions for public transport sales systems, has successfully achieved VDV-KA certification for its AMCON.MOBILE software in combination with the Android-based inspection device Point Mobile PM95. This makes AMCON the only manufacturer to have certified its inspection software on a current Android device.
“We are proud of this outstanding team achievement,” said Olaf Clausen, Managing Director of AMCON. “There were numerous challenges that at first seemed unsolvable, but our team overcame them.”
The certification ensures interoperability with all components of the (((eTicket Deutschland system. The VDV eTicket Service (VDV-ETS), in collaboration with the test laboratory cetecom advanced, conducts comprehensive tests to verify that the hardware and software used function flawlessly with the VDV core application. These tests covered not only chip cards and the commonly used barcode types but also the newer Motics barcode.
The Point Mobile PM95 is a powerful Android device that has been specially adapted to the needs of the German public transport sector through close coordination between AMCON and the Korean manufacturer Point Mobile. Equipped with an in-display card reader, the PM95 in the AMCON Edition is optimized for ticketing solutions involving chip card inspections. The inclusion of two SAM modules meets current VDV-KA requirements for service provider terminals and also makes it a future-ready customer contract partner terminal, including for etiCore.
The VDV-KA certification applies exclusively to the combination of the Point Mobile PM95 device with the AMCON.MOBILE software.
