Nice. But I'm gutted. Been watching these for a number of years and had been building following the last RNS in the belief that they were now at a very exciting tipping point. Reckon we would have seen at least double the offer price over 12-18 months if a bid hadn't come through.

INN chips to feature in 15-20% of all phones shipped in 2012 with further ramp-up 2 years later....

Innovision unveils next-generation NFC phone technology

By Sarah Clark | NearFieldCommunicationsWorld.com | June 4th, 2010

XHello! If you're new here, you might want to sign up for our email newsletter or subscribe to our feed to get the latest NFC headlines delivered to your inbox.Adding NFC functionality to a mobile phone will soon cost less than a dollar, says Innovision's Stephen Graham, with 15% to 20% of all the handsets shipped in 2012 set to include the company's low-cost NFC technology.


INNOVISION: Gem 2 architecture can be implemented in 65nm and 40nm silicon
NFC technology specialist Innovision Research & Technology has unveiled a new version of its Gem NFC IP, a suite of designs, patents and know-how which together form a complete on-chip NFC sub-system designed to enable NFC functionality to be added at low cost to mass-market mobile phones and other devices.

While current generation NFC phones require a separate NFC controller chip to be built into the handset, Innovision's Gem NFC IP provides mobile phone chipset manufacturers with a way to build NFC functionality into their existing 'combo chip' products. Semiconductor companies such as Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, Broadcom, Marvell and CSR already offer these combo chips as a cost-effective way for phone manufacturers to add functions such as Bluetooth, WiFi, FM radio and GPS to their products and, with Innovision's know-how, NFC can also be added to these chips at a substantially lower cost - under US$1 compared to the $5+ cost of a standalone NFC controller.

This approach involves far higher set-up costs than a standalone chip solution, however, which means that the combo chip approach only makes economic sense when NFC is built into very large quantities of phones. Now, demand from phone manufacturers is strong enough that "several major semiconductor suppliers to the mobile phone industry" have licensed Innovision's Gem IP, the company's Stephen Graham has told NFC World, and "every single one of them is definitely strongly interested in NFC."

That demand will lead to the first phones featuring NFC-enabled combo chips hitting the market in 2012 and, says Graham, between 15% and 20% of all the handsets shipped that year will feature its Gem NFC IP.

After that, a second wave of low-end NFC handsets is expected to arrive eighteen months to two years later. While the first wave will see NFC being added to more expensive smart phones, the second will see NFC reaching both low-end devices and the ultra low-end phones aimed at the developing world. Here, because these phones don't usually include the functions offered by combo chips, NFC functionality will be built into the main baseband processor, finally making NFC phones affordable to all.

The new version of Innovision's Gem NFC IP is specifically designed to work with the chip technology mobile chipset manufacturers will be using from 2012. Version one of the technology was designed to work with the 3.6V power supply used in current phones; the new Gem 2, however, uses 1.8V which means it can be implemented in the 65nm and 40nm CMOS processes that chipset manufacturers will be using in 2012.

"Our aim is to open up the market to any semiconductor company, regardless of size and scale, that wants to develop low-voltage, low-cost stand-alone NFC controllers, or integrate NFC into SoCs [system on a chip] for mobile phones, PCs and consumer electronic devices," Graham concludes.

OK. I've been pretty negative on these based on not inconsequential market cap, piddly revenue and heavy cash burn. But this second contract has now got my attention. Could this be one of those 'inflexion points'? And could we see a story unfold not unlike that at IMG - with similar share price movement?

If 25p was justified by the market following the last contract then surely 30p is not unreasonable with this one?

Been in and out of INN over the years.

Fantastic contract win this morning.

What remains unchanged though is that last year's revenues were just one third of the levels of each of the preceding two years. And they lost £2.5m.... I would also disagree that there has been 'exponential' expansion of the technology and applications - unless I'm missing something on the website.

There is great potential - but the market cap is not small, the revenue is low, the loss is significant, the cash burn is high. Lots to be taken on faith.

Not disimilar to NXT (NTX)? The advantage I see INN having is production of their own tags....

IMO - not a closed mind on this, almost tempted this morning - happy to be persuaded that I need to reconsider.

I have been watching this company for quite a while, and have bought in this morning on the strength of the contract. Also, I have taken the opportunity to have another look at their website, and their technology and applications are expanding exponentially - well worth a look.
The recent placing at 18.00p, plus the directors options at 18.5p IMHO makes todays entry price very attractive.

Innovision's Topaz winner's choice at European NFC Competition

Innovision Research & Technology plc

[05/17/07]

Topaz, designed and developed by British firm, Innovision Research & Technology, was used by the overall winner of Track B - 'Most Innovative NFC Proposal of the Year 2007' - at the first European NFC Competition held last month as part of the NFC Developers Summit at the Wireless Information Multimedia Applications (WIMA) 2007 event in Monaco.

Topaz, mandated last year by the NFC Forum as the Type 1 NFC tag, proved to be a popular choice at the NFC Competition and was the tag of choice for the Track B winners, the 'Seeingeyephone', an innovative use of NFC by the Technical Research Center of Finland, VTT.

The project is aimed at visually impaired customers who are unable to read product information in shops. The Topaz tag containing an ID and address with product-specific data, such as the price, use-by date and nutritional values, is simply attached to the shelf next to each product. When the customer holds an NFC-enabled phone up to the tag, the text-based information is retrieved and the phone's text-to-speech synthesiser feeds the information directly to the user in their chosen language.

Innovision's Topaz tag, popular among NFC developers for it's memory size, low-cost capabilities and flexibility across a wide range of NFC applications, was used by many of the NFC Competition's 21 finalists, including France's MIS MDBS for its HOTELNOVA and the Institute of Electronic Business from the University of Arts in Berlin for its Mobile Sales Assistant (MSA) for retailers application.

"The NFC Competition is all about promoting innovation and excellence in NFC service implementations, both now and for the future," said Marc Borrett, Business Development Director at Innovision Research & Technology. "We were inspired not only by the creativity and practicality of some of the applications on display, but excited by the very positive response we got to our Topaz tag and the fact that it was used by the Track B winner and many of the finalists."
