Morpho supplies the first NFC SIM cards for Europe’s first commercial launch in Nice

June 2010 by Marc Jacob

SIMply cONtactless cards from the Morpho e-Documents Division* (Safran group), formally
Sagem Orga, were the first to be approved for deployment by FT Orange, and the first to be
used by customers in one of the most significant Near Field Communication (NFC) projects
currently underway. Since May 21st, in Nice, France, people can now experience the
advantages of contactless technology.

The “Nice, NFC City” project invites people to use an NFC-enabled mobile phone in and
around Nice to test a range of services. These services will ease their daily life, for example,
payment in supermarkets, restaurants and shops, buying tickets for the public transportation
system or using information services at the museums.

For this extensive NFC launch, Orange is offering phones for sale that support all
applications needed to use contactless technology in the public transportation system in
Nice. Passengers can ride buses and trains in and around the city by tapping their phones.
The project is unique in Europe today, since it is the only one implemented for real
commercial use.

The most beneficial feature of the SIMply cONtactless card by Morpho is its interoperability,
as well as its compatibility with future evolutions and with any upcoming handset model.
Vincent Barnaud, Director Contactless Services at Orange stated: “The extensive
development process stands out due to the strong partnership between us and Morpho.
They have shown themselves to be a technology partner with strong expertise and futureorientation.
Morpho was the first to deliver a product that we could approve.”

“Morpho is strongly committed to driving forward future technologies,” said Paul Naldrett,
Senior Vice President of the e-Documents Division of Morpho. “The Nice NFC City project is
an exciting and long awaited step forward in the commercial deployment of NFC technology.
We are proud to be contributing to this groundbreaking project as a technology partner of FT
Orange.”


* On May 27th 2010, Sagem Sécurité was renamed Morpho. Sagem Orga became part of
Morpho e-Documents Division.
