Identiv Leverages iOS 11 to Bring the Endless Possibilities of NFC to Everyone
October 12 2017 - 8:00AM
Identiv, Inc. (NASDAQ:INVE) today announced the company’s first NFC
Tag Starter Kit, in partnership with NXP Semiconductors N.V.
(NASDAQ:NXPI). In order to bring the power of near field
communication (NFC) to everyone, the kit includes 25 NFC tags with
NXP Semiconductor’s NFC Forum Type 2/4/5 NTAG® and ICODE® tag ICs.
Supporting a wide variety of features and security levels for
different application requirements, all tags are equally compatible
with Android® and Apple® iOS 11 devices, including tablets and
mobile phones. With Identiv’s NFC Starter Kit, the user does not
need to be an application developer, or even familiar with NFC —
anyone can pick up the kit, use the tags, and discover the endless
possibilities.
Designed by Identiv and NXP, Identiv’s NFC Tag Starter Kit
enables anyone to use NFC technology to create apps that allow
mobile phone and device interaction, protect brands and businesses,
or improve authentication and supply chain management. By enhancing
physical products with digital NFC and Internet of Things (IoT)
capabilities, products become smarter, driving more value for
consumers and businesses. NFC apps are multifaceted and include
direct consumer engagement, secure product protection, seamless
product traceability, ambient condition sensing, and
device-to-device interaction. NFC offers consumers real-time
services and experiences, while product manufacturers benefit from
incremental sales and enhanced brand loyalty.
“With the growth in connected IoT consumer products,
organizations are seeking real-time, simpler, yet trusted and
secure methods to protect consumers and brands,” said Alexander
Rensink, NXP Business Segment Manager, Secure Identification
Solutions. “Identiv’s NFC Tag Starter Kit brings the power of NFC
to app developers now and opens up an array of new possibilities
for solution developers in the future.”
Identiv’s NFC Tag Starter Kit includes NXP NTAG 210µ (barcode
replacement and fast-moving consumer goods), NXP NTAG 216 (consumer
interaction and brand protection), NXP NTAG 213 Tag Tamper (product
integrity and authenticity and status awareness), NXP NTAG 413 DNA
(advanced anti-counterfeiting, exclusive, tap-unique user
experiences, document authentication, and verified physical
presence), and NXP ICODE SLIX 2 (device identification and supply
chain management).
“Now that Apple iOS devices support NFC, the possibilities for
consumers and developers are endless,” said Stephane Ardiley,
Identiv Director of Product Management. “Identiv is excited to
partner with NXP to offer our NFC Tag Starter Kit to the creative
minds that will revolutionize the connected IoT and give the masses
the tools to discover NFC technology on their own. With NFC,
products are smarter, more interactive, and more traceable — they
can talk to each other and to smart devices — which means a more
trustworthy world for consumers, creators, brands, and
businesses.”
