Friday 15 March 2013 09:46 CET | News

US mobile couponing & ticketing company Mobeam has embedded its light based communications (LBC) technology into the new Samsung Galaxy S4 so it can beam traditional 1-D barcodes.

With embedded Mobeam technology, the Galaxy S4 will be able to engage in mobile commerce at millions of locations worldwide without requiring retailers to make changes to their existing point of sale (POS) systems or technologies.

Mobeam’s technology makes digital coupons and other content presented on a mobile device universally scannable by every point-of-sale (POS) system. The company’s light-based technology turns barcode data for coupons, content, or offers into a beam of light that can be read by barcode scanners present at store checkout counters around the world.

In recent news, Mobeam has entered an agreement with Austrian developer and manufacturer of analog semiconductors ams to bring integrated 1D barcode transmit solutions to smartphone makers.
