Clavis Technologies, Bizmodeline to launch NFC business

Monday, November 7, 2011

Clavis Technologies, a South Korean provider of RFID solutions, has signed a memorandum of mnderstanding with Bizmodeline to jointly develop an “RFID-enabled Near Field Communications (NFC) business,” according to a release from Clavis.

Clavis Technologies will develop an “RFID-enabled NFC application” based on service models developed by Bizmodeline, which will provide its financial, billing, RFID and NFC patents as well as supply allied hardware.


No further details of the project have been released but judging from this line in the press release - “[NFC] is expected to become a widely used system for making payments by smart phone in the United States” - we may see the Korean duo take their app stateside. [end]
