  • Passe Navigo (fr) is not fully ISO14443-B compliant (Innovatron "standard", also referred as type B') so without proper reader it can be accessed only via contacts. Mobib readers cannot read Navigo pass, so no compatibility whatsoever with the anonymous Navigo card, sigh.

• Cards:
  • ASK dual interface cards, according to the ASK productsheet for Calypso probably a CD97/CD97BX by ST or AT, 2KB?
  • C.ticket in the future?
