A consortium with 7 innovative partners for a pioneering project: • Extelia manages the project and provides NFC (Near Field Communication) components and a solution for electronic documents as well as a mobile ticketing solution. • Nice Sophia Antipolis University and JM@GINE foundation work together to develop the overall services. They also coordinate with a team of sociologists economists from the university. • BMS – who created the Moneo electronic purse – brings its expertise to integrate Moneo in a mobile phone (contactless payment and reloading). • Orange Labs brings its expertise in NFC technology development, and provides NFC student service deployment in the NFC SIM, as well as analysis of users’ feedback. • Mobile Distillery provides their CELSIUS development platform for that allows NFC applications to run on the widest range of available phones – more than 200 to date • with full optimisation in a few clicks. The platform works with ‘native’ NFC phones and standard phones in conjunction with NFC devices such as the Bluetooth/NFC stickers developed by TwinLinx or ASK’s Add-on. • ASK develops the Add-On NFC and the High Secure Module containing transport keys for remote reloading, initialization. • CASSIS International provides the Trusted Service Management (TSM) platform which performs OTA (Over The Air) management of secure elements and partner’s applications lifecycle management, notably downloading and personalisation. Each company, an expert in their own field, will ensure the success of this 27-months project during the pilot phase through the 2010-11 university academic year. www.ask-rfid.com
