U.S. mobile operator AT&T is seeking to offer other NFC services besides payments when it launches its mobile wallet—services that could include transit and event ticketing, digital door keys for offices, homes and hotel rooms and airline boarding passes, NFC Times has learned.
The applications would reside alongside Isis-based payment on the telco’s SIM cards, according to AT&T, which is looking for a trusted service manager to handle the nonpayment applications, NFC Times has learned.
The telco, which is a member of the Isis joint venture, issued a request for information for the TSM recently, both to manage the applications on the telco’s SIMs or other secure elements and, where necessary, to provision applications from such service providers as transit and entertainment venue operators, office building management companies, airlines and hotels.
