DeviceFidelity has announced that it will demonstrate the newest version of its In2Pay technology for iPhone 4 at the Mobile World Congress 2011 in Barcelona.
The In2Pay V3 solution comprises an NFC-enabled protective case (called the iCaisse 4) with microSD slot that transforms the iPhone4 into a mobile wallet, as well as delivers additional NFC capabilities including a contactless reader and Peer-to-Peer transactions.
According to DeviceFidelity, these new features allow users to scan smart posters and electronic coupons, upload the information to their mobile phones, and apply discounts at the time of purchase. The features also allow merchants to use the iCaisse4 as a Mobile POS terminal to accept the various types of contactless cards.
In2Pay V3 features an on board PN series NFC controller and SmartMX secure element from NXP Semiconductors, and will be commercially available in March 2011.
DeviceFidelity, which recently joined the NFC Forum, says it also plans to bring the solution to other handset makers and wireless carriers to incorporate into operating platforms such as Android, Blackberry OS and Windows Mobile.
