Near Field Communication and Isis Mobile Wallet Grant Avrashow
Introduction • Long lines • Bulky Pockets • Credit Cards • Loyalty/Reward Cards • Coupons? • Go to Near Field Communication with Isis Mobile Wallet
Background: What is NFC and how does it work? • Near Field Communication- contactless communication in short distances (within 4 inches) • Secure, especially in crowded areas • Payment • Send information (File Transfer) • Receive Information (Smart Posters)
Comparing to Bluetooth • Slower than Bluetooth in terms of transfer speeds • Faster to set up
What is Isis • Holds credit cards, coupons, loyalty cards, concert tickets, transit passes, etc. • Multiple levels of security • https://www.paywithisis.com/secure.xhtml • Trial runs in Salt Lake City and Austin
Advantages • Businesses receive information when you use NFC • How often you purchase at the store • What you purchase • Help businesses with advertising • Eco-friendly • Slimmer pockets • Quicker lines
Disadvantages • Few people are willing to give the new technology a chance • Not many uses in two test cities • http://storefrontbacktalk.com/payment-systems/isis-revamps-its-mobile-wallet-and-its-actually-fixing-whats-broken/ • The app itself has many flaws • Isis is working on Isis Wallet 2.0
The future • The sky is the limit for NFC • More phones have SIM cards with NFC capabilities • Isis needs to improve before it can become universal
