Japan's largest mobile operator, NTT DOCOMO has selected Gemalto for its mobile NFC services. Gemalto will provide NTT DOCOMO with an end-to-end solution featuring its Allynis Trusted Service Management (TSM) service, as well as the UpTeq NFC UICC embedding both the SIM and contactless applications to deliver a rich variety of contactless services encompassing mobile payments, loyalty programs, e-ticketing and access control.

According to Gemalto, the UpTeq NFC UICC is the ideal solution to use NFC mobile phones to access services requiring fast processing and high security due to its scalability and superior post-issuance management capability. In addition, it provides the highest level of convenience and security for NFC deployment and sensitive data management for all service providers.

Japan has the world’s largest contactless infrastructure so end consumers are already familiar to waving their mobile phone to enjoy contactless services. The NFC functionality builds on the UpTeq LTE card that NTT DOCOMO has already started to seed the market with, and will enable them to offer their customers an enhanced NFC experience.
