Subtitle: Unique tomPAY NFC tag enables mobile contactless payment for 100,000
visitors at London Olympic hospitality events
London, England, July 25, 2012 (euro adhoc) - Identive Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:
INVE; Frankfurt: INV), a provider of products and services for the
identification, security and RFID industries, today announced that its
innovative tomPAY NFC tag technology is being deployed and used for a payment
application at large hospitality events at the Olympics.
tomPAY features a unique remove and stick form factor that allows it to be
manufactured using standard ISO PVC card manufacturing process. tomPAY can be
used as conventional contactless cashless payment card or the NFC Tag portion
can be peeled off and affixed to a mobile phone. When placed on a mobile device,
tomPAY enables contactless mobile payments and also can be used for loyalty or
other applications. tomPAY can be adapted to support EMV-compliant (SDA/DDA)
chips, opening new opportunities for card makers and issuers to provide their
customers with an EMV-enabled tap-and-go experience.
"We are excited that our new tomPAY product is used at a major event like the
London Olympics shortly after its launch a few weeks ago. We are gratified that
tomPAY has been accepted and is expected to be used by up to 100,000 visitors
for mobile payment at hospitality events in London," said Dr. Manfred Mueller,
COO of Identification Products for Identive. "This is a great occasion to
showcase our innovative NFC tags and our proprietary patented and patent pending
technology in a challenging environment with a large number of users and daily
transactions."
Identive developed its patented tom technology ("tag on metal") to overcome the
issues inherent to RFID performance when in contact with metal surfaces. The
performance of conventional RFID tags is adversely affected by exposure to
interference generated from metals, such as the components of mobile phones.
