Near Sound Data Transfer Technology

NSDT™ technology is an “online” contactless transaction solution which gives the server complete control over security and transaction management. By using the mobile phone’s microphone as a captor and its audio channel as a transporter, NSDT™ offers very simple use and immediate compatibility with any mobile phone.

NSDT™ technology is protected by a portfolio of eight patents and is the product of over 5 years of intensive research and development in signal processing technologies. NSDT™ uses the latest telecom network technologies, which enables a highly flexible installation and dramatically reduces initial investment and operative costs.

Alternative Mobile Transaction Technologies

Several other technologies are used to make transactions using the mobile phone. The most common alternatives include: Near Field Communication, Sim Tool Kit and Java applications, SMS (text messaging), and USSD messaging.
