Zenius Solutions Inc. announced the introduction of its NFC Transactions Suite. The suite includes a set of frameworks and applications the company says will facilitate the deployment of near field communications (NFC) technologies at the point of sale.

Along with the NFC Transactions Suite, Zenius also announced the release of M-Transact, a software that turns any NFC-enabled smartphone into a point-of-sale (POS) device. 

According to the announcement, the new solutions support virtually all mobile devices, POS terminals and transactional back-end systems. 

"The market desperately needed a hardware-agnostic architecture that supports the global NFC ecosystem," said John Wiese, the company's president and CEO. "That's why we have been working closely with all major and emerging enablers in the value chain to build an interoperable system from the ground up that can both fuel and accommodate rapid growth in demand."

Formed in 2008, Zenius is based in Redding, Calif.
