Bell ID, PPC Card Systems and Vivotech have teamed up to provide European mobile network operators, banks and service providers with a turnkey solution they can use to offer mobile application provisioning and Trusted Service Manager (TSM) services to their client base.

"The joint solution leverages Bell ID's market-proven, high-volume token and application lifecycle and key management systems alongside Vivotech's award-winning mobile wallet software, patented over-the-air (OTA) provisioning solution and coupon issuance/redemption software with the certified and secure operations environment managed by PPC to provide a feature-rich, complete NFC/TSM offering," say the new partners.

"The collaboration between PPC, Vivotech and Bell ID means we can provide banks, mobile operators and consortia from both of these sectors with a broader set of solution delivery options, further encouraging mass market adoption of NFC based mobile contactless applications," explains David Orme, CEO of Bell ID.
