Near Field Communication
The opportunities for Near Field Communication are huge. Contactless transport
infrastructures flourish in every major city, and contactless payment is growing
in popularity. Leveraging on those infrastructures and the interactivity of
mobile phones, consumers will benefit from a whole range of new value added
services such as purchasing your train ticket online or downloading coupons into
your mobile phone.
NFC requires co-operation between the different stakeholders - banks, mobile
operators and transport companies, each with their own culture and expectations.
They all have the same basic requirement - the need for
security and confidentiality.
The Trusted Service Manager – the TSM –
brings trust and convenience to the complex, multi-player NFC ecosystem:
- Secure download and lifecycle management for mobile NFC
applications.
- One common contact point for mobile operators, banks and
transport companies.
This is where we come in.
Our position in the contactless ecosystem is unique:
- We are the leaders in smart card
personalization for banking and transport systems with
more than 30 personalization bureaus worldwide.
- We are the leaders in Over The Air
(OTA) service management with more than 170 or our platforms in the field managing 700
million SIM cards.
By combining those skills and understanding, we offer a complete NFC operated service for mobile
operators, banks, and transport companies.
