Mobile Ticketing consists of various components which can be individually combined to meet each customer’s specific needs. The core component is the actual ticketing system, where all tariff rate information and other data come together. The ordering process can vary significantly, depending on the ticketing system. Your customer may be able to not just order a single ticket over his or her mobile phone, but maybe even purchase a long-term ticket for a week or a month. The billing details are handled by the back-office system.

In many countries, passengers already have to show ID at the gate before boarding the plane - and the trend is clearly on the rise. By combining fingerprint-based boarding checks with check-in by mobile phone, Siemens Business Services is offering airlines a way of meeting the growing requirements for both safety and convenience, as frequent flyers and business travellers can save valuable time by using their mobile phones to check in and board.
The passenger's finger is the key to the solution. A fingerprint is registered once in person with an airline or at the airport, and the resulting biometric data is then stored in a database. With just the touch of a thumb and registration by internet, passengers can download the mobile phone check-in program to their handset. Using their mobile or PDA to connect to the airline's reservation system, passengers can select their flight and choose their preferred seat. Seconds later, they receive a barcode on their mobile which serves as an electronic boarding card, and also includes their fingerprint in encrypted format. When boarding, passengers hold this "electronic boarding card" in front of a scanner and place a thumb on a reading device for clear identification. Alternatively, the fingerprint can also be printed on a conventional boarding card in the form of a barcode - for airports which have not yet installed a scanner for mobile devices, or for passengers who do not want their biometric data to be stored. In both cases passengers can board faster, since time-consuming ID checks at the gate are no longer required.
Siemens Business Services has developed the entire solution using the ID Center platform from Austrian Siemens subsidiary PSE. Mobile check-in and biometric solution can also be used independently of one another.
