TelepathIC, a complete solution from Oberthur Technologies which provides remote management for the entire life cycle of NFC cards and services was also chosen by Bouygues Telecom, SFR and a bank participating in the project. Now and for the first time, residents in the French city of Nice will be able to pay for goods and services at merchants, access and use loyalty programs, purchase public transport tickets and obtain information on routes and timetables using NFC handsets. Future NFC functionality is expected to be rolled out gradually, in order to develop the use of mobile handsets in the daily life of end users. www.oberthur.com
