Some German bus commuters should soon try using their mobile phones as
electronic wallets when a new trial of the technology called Near Field
Communications gets underway.

On Tuesday, Nokia and Koninklijke Philips announced a wireless ticketing
trial with RMV, a public transportation authority in Germany. The trial will
focus on using a new clamshell Nokia phone, the 3220, that features embedded
NFC technology in its cover, and contactless smart card ticketing
infrastructure, the companies said in a statement.

The Nokia-Philips announcement follows a flurry of other recent NFC moves by
companies such as NTT DoCoMo, Motorola and Samsung.

NFC has evolved from a combination of radio frequency identification (RFID)
and interconnection technologies. It enables any two devices to connect and
exchange information or access content and services simply by bringing them
together over a distance of a few centimeters. Operating in the 13.56 MHz
range, NFC is also designed to work on other protocols, such as Bluetooth
and Wi-Fi, allowing devices to communicate at longer ranges or transfer data
at higher rates.

Soweit die heute bei mir eingegangene Meldung. Ob der RMV-Bus auch
QSL-Karten statt eines Fahrscheines ausgibt?
