`
`Nokia Announces the World's First NFC Enabled
`Mobile Product for Contactless Payment and Ticketing
`
`ESPOO, Finland February 9
`
`ESPOO, Finland, February 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nokia today introduced a new product for secure mobile contactless
`payments and ticketing. The world's first Near Field Communications (NFC) product for payment and ticketing will be an
`enhanced version of the already announced Nokia NFC shell for Nokia 3220 phone. It delivers the promise of NFC based
`services, covering service discovery, payment and ticketing. The Nokia NFC shell will provide the first opportunity for
`consumers, mobile operators and service providers to benefit from an easy, touch-based access to services and content.
`
`With the Nokia NFC shell for payment and ticketing, the consumer can conduct local transactions with a mobile phone,
`simply by touching a point of sales device or ticket gate. Consumer's payment credentials, such as debit and credit cards, and
`transport tickets are securely stored in the integrated smart card chip of the Nokia NFC shell. The Nokia NFC shell for payment
`and ticketing is compliant and interoperable with contactless smart card infrastructure. Hence additional investments are not
`required.

`
`"Visa is always looking for exciting, first-rate innovations that advance the field of contactless payment and we are pleased
`to join forces with Nokia in this pioneering effort," said Jim Lee, senior vice president, Product Technology and Standards,
`Visa International. "The development of the Nokia NFC shell serves as a natural extension of Visa's contactless card and phone
`programs around the world. Moreover, it aligns well with Visa's commitment to enabling payments anywhere, anytime, through
`any device."
`
`"We are pleased that Nokia is developing technology that will support MasterCard(R) PayPass(TM) contactless payment
`technology in a mobile handset. This is a natural extension to the successful PayPass market trial that we carried out together in
`Dallas, Texas in 2003. MasterCard's research has consistently shown that consumers are interested in using their mobile phones
`for making convenient payments in the future," said Richard Fletcher, senior vice president, Mobile and Wireless Centre of
`Excellence, MasterCard International.
`
`In the first live NFC-based public transport ticketing showcase of its kind, Nokia 3220 mobile phones will be tested within the
`local bus network in the city of Hanau, near Frankfurt, Germany. For the trial Nokia is collaborating with the regional public
`transport authority, the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (RMV). The mobile phone offers customers a quick and convenient way
`to use the public transport network. "NFC enables us to securely store and electronically control tickets in mobile phones. To

`
`us another important feature of the project is, that the NFC enabled phones are compatible with the contactless smart card
`infrastructure already installed in Hanau," said Peter Preuss, Head of Strategy and Innovation at RMV.
`
`"Secure payment and ticketing functionalities add true value to consumers everyday life," said Petri Vesikivi, Director, Nokia
`Ventures Organization. "With this new innovative product, mobile operators can provide payment and ticketing applications to
`the phone together with service providers such as banks and transportation companies. We are excited about this opportunity
`and keen on starting first commercial deployments."
`
`The Nokia NFC shell for payment and ticketing will be available in mid 2005. The product will be distributed to consumers
`through operators, and as such it will not be generally available as a traditional enhancement.
`
`The Nokia NFC shell for payment and ticketing will be demonstrated at the Cannes 3GSM World Congress 2005 at Nokia
`main stand (A9, Hall 1).

`
`NFC technology evolved from a combination of contactless identification (RFID) and interconnection technologies. NFC
`operates in the 13.56 MHz frequency range, over a distance of typically a few centimeters. NFC technology is standardized in
`ISO 18092, ISO 21481, ECMA (340, 352 and 356) and ETSI TS 102 190. NFC is also compatible to the broadly established
`contactless smart card infrastructure based on ISO 14443 A, i.e. Philips MIFARE(R) technology, as well as Sony's FeliCa card.
