Borne multi-protocoles
MobiNear Box. C’est le nom d’une borne de communication multi-protocoles (Bluetooth, BlueNFC, NFC, WiFi, Codes à Barres 1D et 2D, GSM/NearGSM) développée par MobiNear afin d’interagir avec les téléphones mobiles. En conformité avec les recommandations de la CNIL, elle permet de recueillir par un acte volontaire le consentement préalable de l’utilisateur par une détection du mobile à moins de 10 cm. Les utilisateurs peuvent, ainsi, accéder à des services mobiles tels que le paiement, la
carte de fidélité, les coupons ou les contenus multimédia sur mobile.
