VeriSign Teams with Nokia on RFID Phone
VeriSign is managing the EPC codes for partner Nokia, who in March introduced its new Nokia 5140 with RFID phone kit.
According to Information Week:
VeriSign Inc., a provider of infrastructure services for the Internet and telecommunications networks, has teamed up with mobile phone maker Nokia Corp. to deliver mobile phones that can be used in conjunction with electronic product codes (EPCs), and to develop applications that will extend RFID beyond the supply chain.
In March, Nokia introduced the Nokia RFID Kit, a Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) phone with RFID reading capability. The kit includes the Nokia 5140 phone that initiates tasks when touching a smart object and transmits 13.56-MHz signals, which support International Standards Organization (ISO) standards.
