Photo Release -- Innovative Identive Payment Tag for Mobile Phones Used at London 2012 Olympics


Unique tomPAY(TM) NFC Tag Enables Mobile Contactless Payment for 100,000 Visitors at London Olympic Hospitality Events


LONDON, July 25, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Identive Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:INVE) (Frankfurt:INV), a provider of products and services for the identification, security and RFID industries, today announced that its innovative tomPAY™ NFC tag technology is being deployed and used for a payment application at large hospitality events at the Olympics.



tomPAY™ features a unique remove and stick form factor that allows it to be manufactured using standard ISO PVC card manufacturing process. tomPAY™ can be used as conventional contactless cashless payment card or the NFC Tag portion can be peeled off and affixed to a mobile phone. When placed on a mobile device, tomPAY™ enables contactless mobile payments and also can be used for loyalty or other applications. tomPAY™ can be adapted to support EMV-compliant (SDA/DDA) chips, opening new opportunities for card makers and issuers to provide their customers with an EMV-enabled tap-and-go experience.
"We are excited that our new tomPAY™ product is used at a major event like the London Olympics shortly after its launch a few weeks ago. We are gratified that tomPAY™ has been accepted and is expected to be used by up to 100,000 visitors for mobile payment at hospitality events in London," said Dr. Manfred Mueller, COO of Identification Products for Identive. "This is a great occasion to showcase our innovative NFC tags and our proprietary patented and patent pending technology in a challenging environment with a large number of users and daily transactions."
Identive developed its patented tom™ technology ("tag on metal") to overcome the issues inherent to RFID performance when in contact with metal surfaces. The performance of conventional RFID tags is adversely affected by exposure to interference generated from metals, such as the components of mobile phones



About Identive
Identive Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:INVE) (Frankfurt:INV) is focused on building the world's signature company in Secure ID. The company's products, software, systems and services address the markets for identity management, physical and logical access control, cashless payment, NFC solutions and a host of RFID-enabled applications for customers in the government, enterprise, consumer, education and healthcare sectors.

City of Seattle Selects PayByPhone for On-Street Parking Payments

Vancouver, BC - The City of Seattle has contracted with PayByPhone to introduce a pay-by-phone payment service across approximately 13,000 on-street paid parking spaces throughout Seattle.
The service will enable drivers to use their cell phones to pay for parking one of two ways. Users can download the PayByPhone app or call a toll free number. PayByPhone payments are made by entering the block’s unique location number and the length of parking time desired. Instructions will be posted on parking signs and pay stations. Customers will only have to sign up once with their credit card and license plate either online, via the app or by phone, which can be done quickly and easily at the point of parking.
Drivers can also choose to receive a text message reminder before their parking time expires, with the option to add time remotely (subject to time limit restrictions) and receive parking receipts by email.
PayByPhone is delighted to be chosen by Seattle as its preferred mobile payment provider,” says Graham Bird, President of PayByPhone. “We’re excited to bring the convenience of PayByPhone parking to the City.”
Many large cities in North America and Europe have adopted the proven, secure PayByPhone parking technology, including Miami, San Francisco, Vancouver, Ottawa and London (UK).
About PayByPhone
PayByPhone is a leading international provider of services to parking authorities allowing consumers to use their mobile phones to pay for their parking by credit or debit card.  It has contracts in the UK, France, Canada and the USA. PayByPhone is part of the PayPoint Group of companies.
