Rigel®

Ready-to-certify EMV Level 2 Kernel

Rigel® is a multi-platform and multi-configuration EMV Level 2 Framework. Rigel® has been built to simplify the integration of EMV and other payment scheme-specific kernels for the manufacturers and simplify acquirer integration projects.

Rigel® is one of the first dual-stack kernels built anticipating the future requirements of the payment industry. It is particularly well adapted to the EMV & Payment schemes migration plan presented by schemes for Contact & Contactless for the Global & domestic markets.

Our solution is integrated on the target platform (equipment) and thoroughly tested to guarantee the certification of the EMV Level 2 Contact and Level 2 Contactless kernels.

Rigel® will support the recently introduced EMVCo C-8 contactless kernel.

Who is Rigel platform developed for?

keyboard_arrow_down

Rigel enables terminal manufacturers, terminal vendors, and acquirers to integrate EMV kernels into their payment devices efficiently.

What types of terminal devices does Rigel support?

keyboard_arrow_down

Rigel supports all major terminal types, including ATMs, POS terminals, mPOS devices, kiosks, and SoftPOS solutions.

Which operating systems does Rigel work with?

keyboard_arrow_down

Rigel is OS-independent and supports Android, Windows, Unix, and Linux. You build once and deploy across multiple platforms without OS-specific rewrites.

Which payment schemes does Rigel support?

keyboard_arrow_down

Rigel is a multi-scheme kernel solution to certify your contact and contactless EMV terminals for:

  • Visa
  • Mastercard
  • Discover D-PAS Connect
  • UnionPay
  • RuPay qSPARC (Contactless 2.x)

What does "ready-to-certify" mean?

keyboard_arrow_down

Ready-to-certify means Rigel is pre-built to meet EMV Level 2 certification requirements. It accelerates your certification process because the kernel has already been tested and validated, so you don't have to start from scratch.

What is Rigel's licensing model?

keyboard_arrow_down

Rigel uses a per-device unlimited licensing model. You can scale your deployment without increasing kernel costs.

How does Rigel accelerate time-to-market?

keyboard_arrow_down

Rigel accelerates your timeline by providing ready-to-certify kernels, an OS-independent architecture that speeds compilation, and plugin modules that simplify integration.

How does Rigel simplify the EMV certification process?

keyboard_arrow_down

Rigel is delivered as a ready-to-certify kernel. It means it has undergone extensive pre-testing and validation against EMVCo and payment scheme specifications. It significantly reduces the complexity, time, and resources your team needs to dedicate to achieving final device certification.

What makes Rigel different from other EMV Level 2 Kernels?

keyboard_arrow_down

Rigel stands out for its dual-stack kernel architecture (supporting both contact and contactless), its OS-independent design for easy porting, and its unique unlimited licensing model. It’s also pre-certified for multiple schemes and ready for EMVCo C-8, ensuring future readiness.
