NFC helping mobile phone crime

We’re really pleased to announce the completion of our Design Council project, which was part of the Mobile Phone Security Challenge. Our NFC payment solution will be showcased at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona from 15th February. Come and see it on the UK Dti stand.

If you want to know more – drop us an email (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) and we’ll get in touch.
