Posted by: Sierra Monica B. in mobile phones
Having a cell phone similar with the LG KU380 will be very useful in the near future, because you will get access to several new functions in addition to a digital camera, Bluetooth and stereo MP3 player. According to STMicroelectronics, a developer and provider of semiconductor solutions, the cell phone is prepared for the CARTES & IDentification exhibition in Paris, during November 4 and 6, where the company will demonstrate its latest NFC-based technologies.
LG KU380 is a standard cell phone but when used together with the integrated ST21NFCA NFC controller from STMicroelectronics it becomes a flexible solution for different NFC services such as Paypass contactless payment capabilities supported by the SIM card, and also contactless reader functions.
The handset’s design includes the Host Controller Interface, Single Wire Protocol that enables communication with the SIM, and the 13.56 MHz-based RF communication standards.
At the exhibition in Paris this year, LG’s handset will use a SIM card developed by Gemalto.
This new features allow the users of the NFC-enabled cell phones to make payments on the go using by just tapping the handsets to the readers.
