INSIDE Contactless completes NFC portfolio deployment for Sagem Wireless

Monday 15 February 2010 16:36 CET | News

French provider of open-standard contactless chip technologies INSIDE Contactless has carried out the first deployment of its portfolio of NFC technologies in a commercially available NFC handset.

All three of INSIDE’s core NFC offerings — the MicroRead NFC controller chip, the Open NFC protocol stack and the Wave-Me handset client software — have been integrated for the Cosyphone, a new NFC mobile phone announced today by Sagem Wireless.

The Cosyphone employs INSIDE’s NFC technologies to simplify access to the phone’s features. A connected lifestyle device aimed at the over 50’s market, the Cosyphone enables users to make calls, send text messages or access data services such as weather or traffic information by waving the phone near an NFC tag or smart poster.

Cosyphone will be available in early in the 3rd quarter of 2010 and will be sold through mobile network operators.
