What is NFC?
NFC
which stands for (Near
Field
Communication)
is a system for very
short range
two-way wireless
connectivity.
It uses
short-range
radio frequency
(RF) technology
that allows an
electronic
reader to read
small amounts of
data from other
devices or tags
when brought
next to each
other.
We use Nokia
mobile phones
that are
equipped with
NFC and in
these
solutions the
reading distance
is a few
centimetres.
NFC
technology
evolved from a
combination of
contact-less
identification
or
RFID (Radio
Frequency
Identification)
and
interconnection
technologies.
Touch-based
interactions
offer mobile
phone users an
intuitive and
easy way to
connect, collect
and share with
mobile devices.
How does NFC
work?
NFC is based on
contact-less and
Radio Frequency
Identification
(RFID)
solutions, which
consist of a tag
and a reader.
The reader, when
activated, emits
a short-range
radio signal
that powers up a
microchip on the
tag, and allows
for reading a
small amount of
data that can be
stored on the
tag.
