Zenius Solutions Enables NFC Contactless on Current GSM Phones
Zenius Solutions has announced the integration of its software to an NFC add-on for GSM phones - offering the ability to enable interactive NFC capability on current mobile phones. NFC payment capability is achieved by adding a BLADOX Waver product running ZeniusMobilePay software to supported GSM phones, enabling secure Mastercard PayPass, Visa payWave, American Express ExpressPay and Discover Network Zip EMV and non-EMV Contactless transactions.
The Zenius-enabled BLADOX Waver solution fits into the phone's SIM slot along with the original SIM card. The add-on seamlessly and securely integrates with wallet applications on the mobile phone – allowing a consumer to control and access multiple applications dynamically, providing the same functionalities available in NFC capable phones.
"Zenius breaks impasses that the NFC industry has faced for years. Here, we address the lack of interactive NFC-enabled mobile phones. This add-on with integrated Zenius software opens new revenue streams for card issuers, Mobile Network Operators (MNO), Trusted Service Managers (TSM), and numerous closed-loop solution providers," noted John Wiese, CEO of Zenius Solutions.
"Together with Zenius, we are happy to deliver a real and tangible value proposition for consumers and service providers. The time for widespread NFC payments using the BLADOX Waver add-on is here," said Tomas Orlik, Director of Marketing and Business Development at BLADOX. "Our solution is a disruptive technology that extends near-term opportunity to a variety of industry players," added Wiese.
