FREMONT,
Calif., July 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Socket
Mobile, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCKT), a leading provider of data capture and
delivery solutions designed to enhance workplace productivity, is
excited to announce that its SocketScan S550 NFC Mobile Wallet
Reader is fully certified under the FeliCa card standard.
FeliCa is a contactless Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
smart card technology from Sony in Japan and is used for convenient payment and
other transactions. The FeliCa system offers authentication,
confidentiality, and integrity for services including transport
tickets, payments and e-money, and e-ID. This system services over
two billion people in Japan,
Bangladesh, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, and many other locations
worldwide.
The FeliCa RF certification test enables users and service
providers to initiate secure and convenient operations using
FeliCa-enabled technology. FeliCa certification establishes a
common RF standard that allows interconnectivity between FeliCa
devices. Now, Socket Mobile's SocketScan S550 NFC Mobile Wallet
Reader meets the FeliCa RF standards and is fully certified for
applications that connect to FeliCa networks.
"Socket Mobile has always been devoted to creating certified
products that meet international data capture standards. Gaining
FeliCa certification for the SocketScan S550 is a key milestone in
expanding our global footprint and ensuring simplified support for
our developers creating contactless applications," said
Dave Holmes, Chief Business Officer
at Socket Mobile. "Our goal is to seek certification and provide
support for all card standards, as this certification plays a
significant role in our service delivery to app providers in
Japan and other important regions
who are providing apps for e-money, payments, loyalty, e-ID,
ticketing, hospitality, and beyond. We'll continue seeking
additional certifications in the future and upholding a high level
of quality and support for our developers."
The SocketScan S550 combines the latest 13.56 MHz contactless
technology with Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity and is built for
easy and painless integration into apps. The S550 is NFC Forum,
Apple VAS, Google Wallet, CIPURSE, and now FeliCa certified.
Developer access to the S550 is through Socket Mobile's
CaptureSDK. Once an app provider integrates CaptureSDK into their
app, it allows them to offer any of Socket Mobile's data capture
devices (barcode scanners or NFC reader/writers) interchangeably
and give their end users the freedom to choose the best data reader
for each customer's requirements. If your app already uses
CaptureSDK, the S550 can be utilized immediately.
