Dutch digital security company Gemalto has been selected by the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) as the trusted third-party to deploy mobile near field communication (NFC) contactless services across Singapore.

Gemalto is set to develop and operate its Trusted Services Manager (TSM) service to deploy and manage mobile NFC services such as payment, ticketing, loyalty or advertisement.

Singapore’s three mobile operators have all connected to this interoperable NFC infrastructure, while banks with payment and service providers are set to deploy mobile NFC services to all mobile subscribers.

Business and service providers are expected to join the ecosystem to offer more consumer services, like mobile coupons, mobile tickets and product information.

The project is expected to launch commercially to consumers from middle of 2012.
