The Navigo Step integrated soon into smartphones NFC
the Trade union of transport of Island-of-France stood as a candidate to the call to projects on the deployment of the mobile services without contact NFC within the framework of the investments with a future.

The Navigo Step, which replaces the Orange Chart for public transport Parisian, will be declined soon in application for smartphone compatible NFC (or Near Field Communication). It will then be enough to approach its mobile of the wickets of control to validate the transport document.

According to the Platform, Stif, the trade union which manages public transport in Island-of-France stood as a candidate near the Case of the Deposits to the call to projects on the deployment of the mobile services without contact NFC within the framework of the investments with a future. Objective: to obtain a financing to initiate the project.

Since last February, Stif and Transilien the SNCF make test with 1.000 users an integrating key USB passes it Navigo. It will enable them to reload their fixed price by connecting it on a computer then while going on the transilien.com site to buy a monthly or weekly subscription.

Experiments

In practice, it will then be enough to present the key USB, which is equipped with a communication system in close field, on the wickets without Navigo contact of the Transilien network. Incidentally, this key can also store 1 Go of personal data.

But with the nearest multiplication of smartphones integrating nativement a module NFC, this type of accessory will be useless. Samsung, Nokia, RIM and HTC announced standard NFC for their future models. In addition, Android 2.3 supports nativement standard NFC and Apple should equip the iPhone 5 with it. All the conditions are thus met for a true takeoff.

Let us recall that the NFC formed from now on part of the priorities of the government and operators. Bouygues Telecom, Mobile, Orange NRJ and SFR thus announced their will to massively deploy the mobiles NFC Cityzi which were initially launched successfully to Nice. Objective: to diffuse this year more than one million compatible terminals.

Eric Besson, Minister in charge with Industry, Energy and the numerical Economy announced the launching of nine pilot projects in at least 9 new cities.

It will be a question of trying out new uses of the mobile, and of testing new applications of Web 2.0, in cities and communities which stood as candidates, namely: Bordeaux of coordination with Pessac, Caen of coordination with the English Channel, Lille, Marseilles, Nice, Paris, Rennes, Strasbourg and Toulouse.
