NFC is a short-range wireless technology that allows data exchange between devices within 20 centimeters. It uses magnetic field induction and operates at 13.56 MHz. One device needs an NFC reader/writer while the other needs an NFC tag to communicate. By 2013, one in five phones are predicted to have NFC capabilities. Examples of NFC use include downloading content, exchanging contact info, and mobile payments at point-of-sale terminals. The NFC ecosystem includes many organizations working to expand NFC applications and adoption.

2. Introduction to NFC
• NFC is one of the latest wireless communication technologies. As a short-
range wireless connectivity technology, NFC offers safe — yet simple and
intuitive — communication between electronic devices.
• Enables the exchange of data between devices over a distance of up to 20
centimetres.
• NFC-enabled devices can simply point or touch their making application
and data usage easy and convenient.

3. How NFC Works
• NFC is based on RFID technology that uses magnetic
field induction to enable communication between
electronic devices in close proximity. NFC operates at
13.56 MHz
• For two devices to communicate using NFC, one
device must have an NFC reader/writer and one
must have an NFC tag. The tag is essentially an
integrated circuit containing data, connected to an
antenna, that can read and written by the reader.
