Sony Ericsson has announced it will use NXP Semiconductors’ NFC technology to create a portfolio NFC-enabled Android Xperia smart phones.
Sony Ericsson has chosen to integrate NXP’s PN65 NFC solution, which includes the NFC radio controller, NFC software and the embedded secure element. The technology enables customers to make purchases or connect to a point of sale terminal, ticketing terminal or location-based promotional tag with the tap of a smart phone.
According to NXP, the PN65 also uses advanced cryptography to secure transactions, with the technology already being extensively used in contactless banking cards, e-passports, e-ID cards and secure access systems.
