Jakarta (ANTARA News) – In October 2017, toll road electronification will be 100 percent implemented. As an effort to support this program, five banks issuing e-money cards will be provided free of charge from 16 October to 31 October 2017 at each toll gate.

To make it easier to fill out e-Toll cards, now there is NFC (Near Field Communication) technology. This technology has been adopted by a number of smartphone manufacturers, including Samsung and Apple.

Samsung has embedded this technology since the launch of the Galaxy S6 device, as has Apple which has embedded this technology in the iPhone 6.

Generally present in premium devices, now this technology is available in mid-end devices, one of which is the Polytron Prime 7.

General Manager of Mobile Phone Polytron, Usun Pringgodigdo, in his written statement, Monday, said that this was a form of innovation in Polytron smartphone products.

He also said that the device has NFC technology with eSE (embedded secure elements) on smartphones. So apart from sending data, NFC also meets standards to facilitate secure payment transaction processes.

“It’s very easy to use. Top up your e-Toll balance just by attaching your e-Toll card to Prime 7 through a process carried out using the application. So, topping up your e-Toll is no longer difficult,” said Usun.
