Swisscom, LEGIC, and Kaba combine on NFC applications.
November 4, 2013
BERNE, Switzwerland -- Three Swiss market leaders have started to close a big gap in the NFC world. Thanks to the cooperation between Swisscom, LEGIC and Kaba, it will soon be possible in Switzerland to safely and easily integrate time and attendance recording and access control into the daily business processes using Near Field Communication.
As the biggest Swiss mobile service provider, Swisscom is working hard to develop a platform for NFC services of different card issuers under the name "Tapit". In addition to that, the company LEGIC Identsystems Ltd is introducing its new service "IDConnect" onto the market which makes it possible to realise applications such as access control, ticketing or office automation on a smartphone with an installed Tapit application. Kaba is the first partner to integrate its solution for access control and time and attendance recording into the system. This means that employees from companies using Kaba solutions no longer require their usual badge and can simply use their smartphone to gain access to the building. The system is open for other application developers that will gradually be connected.
