Toshiba Launches NFC LSI for Mobile Payments

Toshiba Corporation announced that it has launched an NFC controller LSI (CLF[2]) "T6NE2XBG" for secure mobile payments via proximity wireless communication. Mass production is scheduled to start in October. The market for mobile payments, using smartphones and other mobile devices in transactions, is growing. The T6NE2XBG enables multiple concurrent connections with three different secure elements (SE[3]), allowing manufacturers to design NFC-enabled applications before the SE for the transaction system is determined.
