VTAP NFC tag emulation

VTAP can emulate an NFC Forum Type 4 card or tag, containing NDEF encoded data. If you tap a phone on a VTAP in card emulation mode, a URL could be launched or Text data displayed on the tapping phone.

When a VTAP reader is switched into card emulation mode by the host system, for example under operator control, it can support scenarios such as:

  • Enrol users who do not have a wallet pass for your VTAP application
    The VTAP is switched into card emulation mode, configured to offer a link to an enrolment website or app, by the system operator.
    When a user taps their phone on the VTAP they will be offered that link, to a website or an app, which will allow them to enrol or receive information about enrolment.

  • Provide targeted special offers or additional information on the user's phone
    The VTAP is switched into card emulation mode, configured to emulate an NFC tag containing an appropriate web page URL.
    When a user taps their phone on the VTAP they will be offered that link, directing them to the special offer web page or other information.
