NXP and FeliCa Networks team-up to create a unique NFC radiocontroller interoperable with global infrastructure

Eindhoven, the Netherlands, and Tokyo, Japan, February 24, 2012 – NXP Semiconductors N.V.
(NASDAQ: NXPI), and FeliCa Networks, Inc. today announced that their collaboration will ensureinteroperability between NXP’s family of NFC radio controller solutions and the Japan infrastructurecompliant to FeliCa™ (NFC-F). Based on a single NFC radio controller from NXP, equipment
manufacturers will be able to design handsets delivering true interoperability with the global infrastructure.
NXP and FeliCa Networks plan to collaborate in expanding the functionality of NXP’s global leading NFC
radio controller with the integration of FeliCa Networks’ technology, which will enable interoperability with
the FeliCa™ (NFC-F) compliant reader infrastructure and with Osaifu-Keitai® phones in Japan. This NXP
unique solution can support application services around the world; the first NFC radio controller will beavailable in 2013.
“Ever since NXP co-invented NFC in 2002, we have worked to develop the Mobile Transactions
ecosystem and make NFC a globally available technology. As leading OEMs require globalinteroperability to pursue global markets, our co-operation with FeliCa Networks creates interoperability inwireless communication protocol layer with all deployed infrastructure, including FeliCa™ ecosystem aswell as countless services and infrastructures based on globally widespread MIFARE® technology”,
noted Jeff Miles, vice president, mobile transactions at NXP Semiconductors.
Hirotaka Sugiyama, president, FeliCa Networks, commented, “Working with NXP is essential for realizing
fully worldwide NFC-enabled phones. We are proud to ease the development of completely global NFCenabled mobile devices for manufacturers and a higher level of convenience for consumers, not only inJapan but also around the world, by this collaboration with NXP. We intend to go on offering full NFC
solutions based on our knowledge and business experience of mobile contactless for eight years.”
NFC is a market proven, standardized technology co-invented by NXP and Sony in 2002. NXP is at thecenter of this ecosystem, fuelling its development by partnering with almost all major handset
manufacturers, mobile OS providers and applications developers. NXP is the No1 supplier to theIdentification market globally, and leverages its leadership in contactless and security technologies toprovide complete Mobile Transactions solutions: NFC controllers, Secure Elements in all form factors,
NFC tags and infrastructure reader ICs. Currently OEMs have selected NXP’s NFC technology for morethan 130 mobile devices. Transport systems on MIFARE technology are available in over 650 cities
around the world.
FeliCa Networks has been providing proven technologies and integrated solutions for the world’s largest
scale NFC service platform. The total number of wireless subscribers who own a mobile phone
implemented with such technologies and solutions including contactless IC chips reached approximately
70 million in 2011. The cumulative number of smart phones with them exceeded 10 million units as ofJanuary 2012. A great variety of over 100 services, not only payment and transportation but also otheradvanced services, is available on the service platform.

At Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, NXP will showcase the latest in NFC mobile applications andFeliCa Networks will show the company’s outline and application services. Visit NXP at Hall 1, 1F-14 andFeliCa Networks at Hall 7, 7A107 to experience most advanced NFC world.
