Opens global consumer markets for disposable wireless sensors using NFC

GENTAG, Inc. has reported the successful testing of the new NXP cell phone RFID reader chip in combination with its proprietary disposable RFID sensor platform. This will open global consumer markets for disposable, wireless sensors using NFC-enabled cell phones.

"Cell phones that integrate NFC (Near Field Communication) technology with the newest RFID reader chip from NXP will also be able to read our disposable RFID sensors," reported Dr. John P. Peeters, the founder and CEO of GENTAG.  "GENTAG and its partners have successfully resolved the complex technical issues of adapting a technology meant to read unique IDs to also be used for any sensor application, including analog sensors."

Together with Munich Network, a corporate network for technology companies, Giesecke & Devrient (G&D) organized its third Mobile Security Forum at the company's Munich headquarters. From a field of 30 applicants, 10 were chosen to take part. At today's event, these companies will be presenting their IT security solutions and applications to a select group of investors and G&D managers. For G&D, a leading provider of security technologies, the event is both a platform for international companies to talk to potential partners and an opportunity for the company itself to sound out possible partnerships.
