Alcatel-Lucent and CASSIS International partnership addresses secured mobile application warehouse through Trusted Service Manager
Turnkey mobile wallet solution will facilitate NFC deployment
Paris, December 3, 2010 - Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU) today announced an agreement to integrate CASSIS International’s Trusted Service Manager (TSM) with Alcatel-Lucent's comprehensive mobile payment and marketing offering. This pre-integrated solution enables mobile network operators (MNOs) to provide a secure mobile application warehouse for payment, ticketing, loyalty and other applications by allowing consumers to use their mobile phones as a wallet at the point of sale.
Mobile phones are being used as the new wallet everywhere, with mobile wallet users reaching 1.4 billion by 2015, predicted by Edgar, Dunn and company.A consumer launches a credit card application on the Near Field Communications (NFC) phone and the phone will act as a credit card. The consumer will also have the possibility of checking his balance and transaction history in real time on the phone and will be able to subscribe to new payment, transport or loyalty programs on the fly by installing a secure application from the mobile super-store. In fact, Alcatel-Lucent’s survey revealed that 89 percent of the youth market would be willing to pay a monthly fee for such a mobile wallet service.
The Alcatel-Lucent and CASSIS partnership provides a single point of contact for the secure contactless application providers to access their customer base through the MNOs. The CASSIS Trusted Service Manager distributes, provisions and activates the applications and services of the service providers, and is considered the middle man between MNOs and third party service providers. This allows a mobile phone to act like a credit card, transport card or loyalty card. MNOs can leverage the relationship and services of the TSM to collaborate with other industry service providers and rapidly create new services for their customers, independent of handset and secure element makers, and thereby creating new revenue streams.
This joint solution highlights further progress with Alcatel-Lucent’s application enablement strategy, which combines the trusted capabilities of service providers with the speed and innovation of the Web to enable a new generation of services that provides both consumers and business users with richer experiences. Mobile service providers can safely expose network assets and access to handset secured elements, such as identity management, to third parties such as banks, and other application and content providers to create innovative secure mobile applications that utilize the mobile operator’s network and handset capabilities. This further drives availability of new applications via the creation of a secured mobile application warehouse.
Alcatel-Lucent offers a complete solution to MNOs for proximity payments and mobile financial services including a “stored value account” (wallet), payment gateway to banks and credit cards, an e-money license, credit card issuing and acquiring licenses and profile server. CASSIS’ TSM services provide a mobile application warehouse where consumers can download secure applications to their NFC handset. CASSIS’ world class expertise in TSM offers over-the-air provisioning that remotely manages multiple secure mobile applications such as debit or credit card payment applications on the secure element, independent of its form factor, such as, Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) cards, MicroSD cards, active stickers, and NFC phone with embedded secure element.
“This partnership completes our turnkey mobile payment and marketing offering for mobile operators and NFC consortia,” said Anthony Belpaire, General Manager Alcatel-Lucent Mobile Wallet Service. “The combination of CASSIS’ unique expertise on TSM with Alcatel-Lucent’s Mobile Wallet Service offering, worldwide presence and integration expertise creates a unique market proposition. With this offering, we can enable our mobile carrier customers to provide a kind of “SIM app store” so payment, ticketing and lots of 3rd party applications can be provided to any NFC handset into the hands of the carriers’ customers.“
“Consumers get their freedom of choice from the secure mobile application mobile warehouse,” said Thian Yee Chua, CEO of CASSIS International. “We shared the vision of Alcatel-Lucent. Combining its leadership in the telecommunication industry with our experience and track record in other industries shortens the learning curve for mobile operators, while speeding up their service deployment, and making NFC business profitable.”
Alcatel-Lucent starts contactless payment and loyalty pilot for publisher Sanoma Magazines
Contactless stickers & e-wallet to enhance magazine marketing at point of sale
Antwerp, 16 December 2010 - Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris & NYSE: ALU) announces today an innovative trial with Sanoma Magazines, in which buyers of the magazine Humo can make use of contactless payment. Together with customer relationship agency Proximity BBDO, the trial for magazine marketing is set up at several points of sales.
Humo-magazine readers can buy a prepaid NFC (Near Field Communication) sticker for their mobile phone for 24 euro which gives them access to 12 instead of 10 magazines. The user has to hold the sticker in front of a contactless reader at the point of sales in order to pay for the magazine.
Readers of Flair magazine who ask for a sticker when buying their magazine and who register online, earn loyalty points with each purchase of the magazine and receive a gift after 4 purchases. They also get an SMS-update if they haven’t bought Flair yet that week. The sticker can also be activated for contactless payment so that users are able to buy other items at the press shops via one touch.
The test project runs with 7 newspaper stores in and around the city of Antwerp where contactless reading devices for the stickers are installed. About 700 readers of Flair and Humo will be part of the trial project.
Readers’ loyalty and information about the readers’ habits
“The trial and the new technology it uses allow Sanoma Magazines to gain better insights into the purchase habits of readers who don’t own a subscription, and to build up a much more intimate reader loyalty” says Sanoma Magazines. There are also advantages for the point of sales, as they win from the increased reader’s loyalty.
Contactless technology and e-wallet
The technology behind this trial is supplied by Alcatel-Lucent for the payment vouchers, loyalty points and contactless payment. Proximity BBDO takes care of the integration with the CRM-system.
“This project is a nice example of the possibilities offered by the e-wallet,” says Anthony Belpaire, general manager of Alcatel-Lucent’s Mobile Wallet Service. “In the future ever more payments will be done electronically and will be completely integrated with loyalty programs.”
Alcatel-Lucent and Proximity BBDO enable agile “A-kaart” solution for City of Antwerp
Contactless technology and electronic wallet as basis of future proof city marketing solution
The “A-kaart” is a savings- and advantage card to stimulate participation in the cultural & free-time offering of the city. Meanwhile it will enhance the local community sense, A-feeling and will provide additional insights in behavior of the citizens and improve offering based on consumption analytics.
Consumers can buy a contactless A-kaart, save points when visiting city services and redeem coupons earned by touching A-kaart poles or at the point of sale. Different savings rules can be applied to different segments of the population.
Alcatel-Lucent and Proximity BBDO provide the end to end solution for the A-card, consisting of an electronic wallet for loyalty points and coupons, contactless infrastructure, a rule management system and program database with interfaces for consumers and administrators. The contactless infrastructure includes contactless cards for consumers, contactless readers for the various city service locations as well as NFC enabled readers for remote events e.g..
The “A-kaart” solution is future proof as it is compatible with the NFC (Near Field Communication) standard being integrated into mobile phones. Furthermore, the A-kaart is capable of serving as payment or public transport card over time.
The agility of the solution allows to launch in the near future additional services like the Antwerp City Card – a prepaid card for tourists, as well as it allows to replicate the program in other cities on the same platform.
The A-kaart has integrated the various programs for city services and city partners and has required extensive integration with 3rd parties, as well as cross departmental cooperation between the city services. Consumers can use the integrated my A-kaart website to check the available loyalty points and coupons.
“Alcatel-Lucent was able to timely deliver an end to end solution and provided the required agility to address the evolving marketing concept and needs over time, says Ils Neuts, Marketing & Communication Director, City of Antwerp”
The A-kaart project implementation is a new reference for Alcatel-Lucent’s Mobile Wallet Service offering. Alcatel-Lucent Mobile Wallet Service provides mobile and contactless payment and marketing solutions to mobile operators and enterprises around the globe. Recent customer announcements include a.o. the Sanoma loyalty and prepaid pilot and the Vodafone UK mobile payment project.
