Tuesday 8 November 2011 15:12 CET | News

US-based NFC software and systems company ViVOtech and African software supplier Qmuzik Technologies have entered an agreement whereby Qmuzik will resell, implement and support ViVOtechs near field communication (NFC) Trusted Service Manager (TSM) software suite in Africa.

Qmuzik has experience in Radio-Frequency Identification and telecommunications implementations in the aerospace and defence sectors, with prepaid airtime and voucher distribution in Africa.

NFC technology is supported by VISA South Africa’s micro SD card-based offering while the South African government has begun accepting payments contactless cards, as well as via NFC-enabled phone handsets, as the standard for public transportation fare collection.

Qmuzik is also supported in implementing ViVOtechs NFC TSM software suite by mobile phone manufacturers such as Nokia.
