“We see NFC as the ideal technology for enabling new approaches to ‘check-ins’, integrating social media into the physical store, and rethinking how we reward loyalty and encourage discovery and sharing,” says the out-of-home interactive television network.

3GTV Networks has announced it is adding NFC functionality to its network of shelf-edge interactive TV screens.

3GTV operates a network of smart devices that are designed to combine “the power and plannability of television with the efficiency and immediacy of digital media.” The devices are located on grocery stores’ shelf-edges and include both a TV screen and interactive capabilities.
