How Dynamics’ Wireless Magnetic Communication (WMC) technology works
Wireless Magnetic Communications (WMC) technology allows any portable device to generate wireless magnetic data pulses that can be transmitted over-the-air to traditional magnetic stripe readers. With WMC technology, any standard credit or debit card can be loaded into any device and used to make a payment at virtually any point-of-sale terminal. To make a purchase, a consumer simply selects to make a purchase with a particular payment card on their device. The consumer then places the device within the proximity of a payment card reader. The WMC technology will wirelessly communicate magnetic stripe data associated with the selected card to the payment card reader. The transaction will utilize the standard payment infrastructure to authorize the transaction for that selected card.
