NXP Accelerates UWB-based Mobile Payment Innovation with NTT DOCOMO and Sony
January 14 2020 - 12:00AM
NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) today announced its
Ultra-Wideband (UWB) solution will be leveraged for a live mobile
payment demonstration by NTT DOCOMO, INC., and Sony Imaging
Products and Solutions Inc. (Sony).
With the recent announcement of NXP’s chipset for mobile
devices, NXP continues to tie out support from ecosystem leaders
across mobile, IoT and automotive makers to cultivate the UWB
ecosystem and harness the precise real-time localization
capabilities augmented by NXP’s unique, secure UWB portfolio.
The smart retail demonstration orchestrated by DOCOMO and Sony
shows intuitive, effortless connectivity experiences using UWB
technology and the possibility of its impact and benefit to
FeliCa®-based services which spans transportation, in-store
payments, building access and more.
“Our demonstration showcases mobile payment, advertisement and
smart key applications to present a framework that helps
developers, manufacturers and service providers better serve
people,” said Takeshi Higuchi, General Manager of Communication
Device Development Department at DOCOMO. “We’re excited to
collaborate with NXP and Sony to explore more convenient and
valuable consumer experiences.”
“NXP has always shared the same vision with us to provide global
tourists and mobile phone owners in Japan an integrated, rapid,
secure and contactless experience for payment, ticketing, and other
popular use cases,” said Toyoaki Kobayashi, Deputy Senior General
Manager, FeliCa Business Division at Sony Imaging Products &
Solutions Inc. “The demonstrated use cases utilizing fine-ranging
capabilities can deliver further benefits derived from FeliCa-based
services.”
“DOCOMO and Sony have long demonstrated their innovative
leadership in bringing new forms of payment and value-added
services to people,” said Charles Dachs, vice president and general
manager of Secure Embedded Transactions at NXP. “We’re excited to
work with these leaders to demonstrate sophisticated UWB-based use
cases that will blend seamlessly into people’s lives.”
The smart retail demonstration tracks user movement and
positioning to showcase the versatile benefits of UWB’s 360 degree
positioning, location accuracy of a few centimeters, and spatial
context awareness that can be purpose-built for personalized
advertising and marketing. Additionally it showcases UWB’s
complementary and ubiquitous capability to enhance and interoperate
with existing wireless technologies on the narrowband spectrum
including Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Near Field Communications
(NFC). Embedded with end-to-end secure hardware and software for
payment, authentication and identification, the UWB-based showcase
includes secure, convenient, hands-free check-out for in-store
purchase and drive-through payment experiences.
SHOWCASE:
The demonstration of UWB-based mobile payment and targeted
marketing on digital advertising signs will be demonstrated at
DOCOMO Open House 2020 on JAN 23 to 24 in 2020.
