Hansaprint and UPM RFID launched
NFC mobile app
TagAge Mobile has creator functionality for NFC smart stickers and business cards. It also includes easy access for sourcing blank tags in low volumes. With TagAge Mobile users can easily customize the tags using their own images and text. Users don't need to have NFC phones for tag encoding; they can just create the content in the app and order printed and encoded tags to be delivered to the desired address anywhere in the world. Content creation supports most of the NFC NDEF formats.
"There are numerous NFC mobile applications, but TagAge Mobile is remarkable, offering a new and easy way to order customized NFC tags directly from a smartphone. As number of NFC enabled smartphones is increasing rapidly, there will be a lot of new NFC user s having a need for a small amount of NFC tags, TagAge Mobile fulfills this perfectly", says Taisto Junkkari, Sales and Development Manager, Hansaprint.
TagAge Mobile for Symbian Anna/Belle devices is available free of charge via Nokia Store. Application for Android will be available during January 2012. Hansaprint has designed the concept of TagAge Mobile together with UPM RFID and Tieto. The software is designed and developed by Tieto.
