TXT-a-Park™ shortlisted for the TUANZ Innovation Awards 2006

23 August 2006

The TxT-a-Park™ solution provided by Fronde Anywhere was short-listed for the TUANZ Innovation Awards. The service was delivered in 2004 as a joint initiative between Fronde Anywhere, Vodafone New Zealand, and Cash Handling Systems, with all parties retaining ownership of their intellectual property.

The initiative involves New Zealanders being able to pay for parking using their mobile phone. It's the first of its type that requires no pre-registration by consumers, which allows for the immediate use of this world-leading solution.

It has been so popular that TXT-a-Park™ is now available in cities across New Zealand and operates as a nationwide, ubiquitous hub for mobile payments for parking services.

Each year the TUANZ Innovation Awards recognise and reward New Zealand innovation in telecommunications. However, innovation is not something that happens at a moment in time. The pace of technological advance is increasing and New Zealand must work ever-harder to succeed.

Awards are for products or services originating or provided in New Zealand. All awards place a premium on innovation, be it technical or commercial.
