Today, Google joined the NFC Forum, a standards setting body for NFC in payments and other applications. We’d expect to see Android’s NFC support to evolve toward a consistent, NFC Forum-congruent shape. That could make life more difficult for Zenius and its competitors.
The Zenius management team looks strong, with experience from VeriFone, VIVOtech, Way Systems, Visa, and others.
San Francisco, CA (PressExposure) March 29, 2011 — Zenius Solutions, Inc. today introduced the world’s first universal NFC Transactions Suite, a modular set of frameworks and applications that facilitate rapid NFC deployment. The innovative Suite features the Zenius NFC Framework, an NFC hardware abstraction layer; Zenius Mobile Wallet, a re-brandable electronic wallet that enables users to select and manage applications; Zenius Open-loop MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover applets; and Zenius White-label card applications, an essential group of closed-loop NFC applications that add new revenue streams to NFC offerings. In addition, Zenius released M-Transact, groundbreaking software that turns NFC-enabled smart phones into NFC acceptance point-of-sale (POS) and transaction devices; and Zenius TransactionServer, an advanced transaction server supporting the Zenius White-label applications.
