Telefonica will launch an NFC trial involving employees at its Madrid headquarters. Dubbed 'Distrito NFC', the project will bring the NFC technology to a real corporate environment.
The project initially includes 1,000 Telefonica employees, who have been given NFC technology terminals to allow them to use their mobile phones for payment at retail outlets on the business campus and local establishments.
Trial participants can also access their work locations by bringing the terminal up to the entry turnstile, or load their "meal cheques" into the phone to pay for their meals and beverages at catering facilities on the complex, among other functions.
The number of participants in the initiative will be gradually increased as it develops, targeting all the staff at District C, approximately 14,000 employees. The partners providing the services for employees include Autogrill, Bankinter, BBVA, La Caixa and Visa.
The other firms assisting with the project are G&D, Oberthur, Samsung – supplying the NFC mobile terminals - and Sermepa.
