A mobile payment solutions provider Blaze Mobile has introduced a new patent pending “smart” sticker that enables information to be transferred in real-time between the sticker and a mobile device without the use of a carrier network.

Previously Blaze’s stocker sent transaction data in one direction from the sticker to the Point-Of-Sale (POS) terminal, and then traversed the payment network to the Blaze servers. Blaze servers then deliver this digital receipt to the mobile device Over-The-Air (OTA) using the carrier network. A potential problem arises in situations where the wireless network is not available to immediately transfer the data, and the new Blaze sticker eliminates that limitation.

With Blaze’s new sticker, when consumers make contactless purchases, the data is sent directly from the sticker to the mobile device, eliminating the need for a carrier network or WIFI. The sticker, which can be used on any mobile device, offers Blaze’s users real-time account information whether in a store, subway, transit station, airplane, or anyplace without cell phone reception.
