Maxis Communications to offer NFC technology
Maxis Communications Bhd hopes to grow its active 1.3 million 3G user base with the introduction of three new products, including a new NFC service, reports The Star Online. Head of Strategy and New Business Nikolai Dobberstein said, “The growing demand for data services was encouraging.”
Dobberstein said Malaysain-based Maxis is working on NFC technology to enable its subscribers to use their mobile phones for payment at Visa payWave and Touch n Go terminals.
“We hope to launch the NFC service soon. We are very keen to launch it here but the challenge is to find the devices. Currently there are only two NFC-enabled phone models but we believe there will be more NFC handsets by year-end,” he added.
