Can SMS challenge RFID?
bCODE — a mobile ticketing solutions provider, thinks so. It is using SMS over RFID for its new ticketing technology to be showcased at the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games. It is to be noted that Organizers of the Fotball World Cup in Germany are using RFID.
The SMS-based bCODE solution does away with any special RFID reader and related technology.
To enter an event, the bCODE Mobile Ticket, which is a series of characters that looks like "=MXPLS=MP97C=" is electronically read from the screen of the mobile device and checked for authenticity, providing complete security.
Other applications for bCODE' technology include airlines (issuing tickets and secure check-in), retail (loyalty cards and delivery and redemption of vouchers), hospitality (room bookings, secure room key access, and delivery and redemption of targeted offers).
