Long Island University Campus Goes Touch-Free with Mobile Access NFC

Students at Long Island University (LIU) are taking advantage of a mobile-access and payment solution this year that spares them from handling ID cards or touching screens or other surfaces.

The MyLIU Mobile Card system provides them with access to services on campus, ranging from library book checkout to meal purchases and dorm entrance, via the tap of their smartphone.

The solution consists of Near Field Communication (NFC) readers that read and forward data from users' phones, as well as Transact's app that manages the collected read data for each transaction, while enabling Google Pay and Apple Pay transactions.
