Blaze Mobile has unveiled a new two-way contactless payment sticker that enables information to be transferred in real-time between the sticker and a mobile device without the use of a carrier network or WIFI.
The sticker, which can be used on any mobile device, offers users real-time account information whether in a store, subway, transit station, airplane, or anywhere without cell phone reception or WIFI, allowing customers to make contactless mobile transactions using multiple payment options, like credit, gift and debit cards.
Additionally, Blaze’s sticker offers a multiple business options beyond mobile payments, including remote access to buildings, cars or health care data. It wasn’t immediately clear how the new sticker would be able to perform all these tasks.
The new patent pending stickers will be available during the first quarter of 2011.
