Gemalto and NXP Join Forces to Boost Mobile NFC Solutions Deployment Around the Globe

Gemalto and NXP Semiconductors, the independent company founded by Philips, announced their collaboration on SIM-enabled Near Field Communication (NFC) solutions based on the Single Wire Protocol (SWP). Both companies will together define and develop SIM products for SWP-based solutions to ensure interoperability with MIFARE technology as well as other widely deployed contactless protocols. This agreement will enable the industry to rapidly address the growing demand for NFC-based applications among telecom operators, service providers and consumers.

This initiative from NXP and Gemalto aims to facilitate the definition of standardized SIM-based NFC products. It will also speed up the availability of SIM-based NFC phones compliant with telecom operators’ requirements.

NXP is designing a new SIM-enabled NFC chip and SIM chip that support the SWP protocol and provide MIFARE capability. Gemalto is developing a SIM card and trusted service management offering for banks, transport companies and telecom operators to manage the provisioning and the personalization of mobile contactless applications.

Note to editors:

The Single Wire Protocol is a specification for a one-wire connection between the SIM card and the NFC chip in a mobile phone. It is under final review for standardization by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
