Radio Frequency Investigation (RFI) has been appointed as a Telecommunications Certification Body (TCB) by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the USA.
Smartcard consultancy and testing services
RFI is the first organisation in the UK to offer independent, commercial Smartcard development testing, consultancy and type approval services to manufacturers of Smartcard readers and terminals.
Future applications of mobile phone technology are likely to encompass financial transactions, and one aspect of Gillman's work involves researching the security of wireless payments.
Since 2000 RFI has become a key player in the smart card industry and is recognised by Visa International for its smart card and terminal and risk services.
It is the only company in the UK currently working at such an advanced level of knowledge and technology.
Brian Watson, RFI's Development Director responsible for developing RFI's smart card business, believes that this growing market is one in which RFI must be involved.
Commenting on Gillman's appointment Watson said: "RFI has historically been active in the wireless and telecommunications sectors, and more recently with Smart Card technology.
With the roll-out of new services such as cellular, contactless card systems, and mobile payments, there is a clear convergence of technologies.
RFI is in the fortunate position of having the skills required to support this sector.
Teresa has added new strengths to the team, bringing in-depth knowledge and expertise".
Further enhancing its stake in the industry, RFI has become a member of the Smart Government Forum set up last year.
The forum is to help the Government meet its target that by 2005 all public services will be available electronically and that smart cards will play a significant role in the overall modernisation programme.
It brings together as members all the stakeholders including public sector participants and the technology supply community in order to seek the best solutions and practices.
