Etisalat adopts Gemalto mobile NFC solution for accessing office facilities
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Amsterdam, February 18, 2015 - Etisalat, the UAE's leading telecoms company, is
harnessing mobile NFC solution for corporate access control from Gemalto
(Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader in digital security. The solution
enables Etisalat's management to securely access its head office and facilities
with a single tap of a mobile phone on a contactless reader.
The new app reflects Etisalat's commitment to innovation and to bringing
convenience to modern, smart cities. The combination of Gemalto's UpTeq Multi-
tenant NFC SIM and embedded access control application showcases the potential
uses of NFC in a highly secure corporate environment, with smart mobile services
and trusted digital identities forming an integral part of the everyday life.
Furthermore, mobile NFC can be used for authorizing and initiating network
printing. This ensures document confidentiality as well as supports Etisalat's
objective of adopting environment sustainability in all aspects of operations
and business.
"Etisalat is evolving into a truly integrated service provider by introducing
smart solutions and mobile apps that can make modern living in our smart cities
easier, whether it's in the office, at home, or when shopping or traveling,"
said Abdulla Hashim, Senior Vice President - Digital Services, Etisalat. "We
believe that Gemalto's NFC experience and remarkable technical support will be
valuable assets to us."
"This deployment reflects the true potential of NFC technology which opens the
door to many more new services on mobile," said Eric Claudel, President for
Middle East & Africa at Gemalto. "Etisalat is playing a key role in putting the
UAE at the forefront of this mobile revolution, using the power of this
technology to deliver smart services to its employees but also potentially to
its corporate customers."
