About the session

As mobile and contactless payment and fare systems expand, balancing convenience, total cost of ownership, and security becomes important. FiRa recently added various new features to its ultra-wideband (UWB) implementation, which adds a new dimension to several payment-related use cases. Be it to ease the retail checkout, toll collection or car park payments or open- and closed-loop ticketing, UWB enhances the user experience without compromising security. This session highlights real-world opportunities for payments stakeholders and transport operators to leverage UWB for faster, smarter, and more inclusive mobility.
