OTIs Smart Sticker Travels to New Zealand with Air New Zealands
Revolutionary Domestic Check-in
Fort Lee, NJ, Auckland, New
Zealand November 17, 2008
On Track Innovations Ltd. (OTI) (NASDAQ GM:
OTIV), a global leader in contactless microprocessor-based smart card solutions for
homeland security, payments, petroleum payments and other applications, has supplied Air
New Zealand, New Zealands national airline, with OTIs Smart Stickers to help
frequent travelers on New Zealand domestic flights check-in and board faster.
On November 3
rd
, Air New
Zealand made significant changes to its domestic check-in processes including the first of
several major terminal improvements around the country starting at its biggest domestic
port of Auckland.
The changes include a new
state-of-the-art check in and boarding experience, introducing a new layout and design,
new kiosks that enable customers to print their own bag tags, a direct to conveyor belt
bag drop zone to eliminate queues, new gate scanners for straight to gate check in and
boarding for customers without bags and several new technological enablers for frequent
flyers.
In Addition, Air New Zealand
distributed approximately 100,000 customized OTI Smart Stickers to its most frequent
domestic travelers to be attached to the back of their mobile phones, which will serve as
a permanent and reusable boarding pass. Frequent flyers simply present his or her smart
sticker-enabled mobile phone to specially equipped kiosks or gate scanners, and their
information is immediately retrieved, making the boarding process paperless.
OTIs smart sticker is an
entirely self-contained, contactless payment device that adheres to multiple surfaces
including mobile phones, PDAs and more. The special configuration and adhesive on the back
of the smart sticker makes it easy to attach to any surface, be it metallic, plastic or
other. This feature enables issuers to add contactless payment capabilities to existing
mobile devices independent of the handset type and model. For the time being, the Air New
Zealand program will not be utilizing the stickers payment capabilities.
The
OTI smart sticker serves to upgrade products already in circulation, providing a quick
time-to-market, cost effective solution, which is expected to assist issuers in increasing
market share.
Oded Bashan Chief Executive Officer
& Chairman of OTI said: The Smart Sticker is one of the more exciting
contactless products OTI has developed. By simply adding a contactless sticker to a mobile
device, we provide the device with more capabilities, and the issuer with more ways to
communicate with their customers and add to their product offering. Air New Zealand took
it a step further by offering a unique product to its customers and providing them with a
superior user experience in the boarding process.
