29/03/2012 - Connecthings nominated to the Contactless & Mobile Awards

Connecthings is proud to have been shortlisted in two categories for the Contactless & Mobile Awards: this challenge launched by Contactless Intelligence rewards the best mobile contactless and NFC services and uses developed and set up by companies, in ten categories.

Connecthings had submitted two showcases, and both have been selected:

  • The smart mailbox implementation (“Mobulles Paris”), consisting in the deployment of NFC tags and QR Codes on 50 smart mailboxes in the centre of Paris giving access to real-time and contextualized  information of different kinds: postal information and services of course, but also transport information and local news and events. This showcase is running for the Public Domain Award.
  • The large-scale deployment of contactless/NFC mobile services, through the implementation of more than 25,000 NFC tags and QR Codes powered by Connecthings in the UK, France and Spain, and durably deployed in the cities, in the functional and diverse areas of Transport and Mobility, Cultural and Touristic heritage, and Street life. Connecthings has been recognized for its expertise in creating NFC eco-systems that make cities smarter and improve people’s mobility. These citywide projects are shortlisted for the Contactless / NFC Eco-System Award.

The ceremony will take place in London in April, 26th, after one day of conferences and working groups organized by Contactless Intelligence, where a lot of companies concerned about the NFC technology will be present. Connecthings will be the chairman of one of the working groups dedicated to DIY tagging systems. The winner of each category will be announced by a jury composed of professionals of different areas (Transport, bank, retail…), with specific expectations of the NFC and contactless services developed by the companies.
 
Connecthings is pleased to see that the NFC and contactless mobile technologies embrace more than ever all the areas, and is strongly motivated for carrying on implementing contactless/NFC  mobile services that  improve people’s experiences in the cities.
