We all know what IoT is but can you spell NFC?
Audience questions: how many use pay-by-smartphone?
Introduce NFC technology to RFID audience
I encourage you to check us out online and seek me our today and chat. The non-profit NFC Forum is the world’s leading standards and advocacy association for NFC Technology. We have approximately 150 members worldwide both B2B and B2C. Many of which you know like these. We also have a good mix of startups and other innovative companies that you might not of heard of – yet.
The NFC Forum creates the technical specifications and standards that drive NFC innovation in key areas like UX. We focus our activities in the retail, public transportation, automobile and IoT markets. See me today if you’d like to know how you can get involved in our work.
The NFC Forum brings the convenience of NFC technology to life. We empower organizations to deliver secure, tap-based interactions with an intuitive, reliable experience to users around the globe. Join today!
NFC is a standards-based short-range wireless connectivity technology that makes your smartphones, wearables, tablets and other devices even smarter. NFC is built into over two billion NFC-enabled devices in use and is compatible with hundreds of millions of contactless cards and readers already deployed worldwide.
Briefly touch (or ‘tap’) your NFC-enabled smartphone to another NFC-enabled object to share pictures, play music, make payments, access useful information, and more easily set up Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections. No PIN codes, camera-based scanners, or wires are required to use this simple, intuitive technology.
The NFC difference is in proximity, security, user intent
Main message: RFID and NFC in IoT are not competing. They are complementary in many IoT applications.
Users already have NFC devices in the palm of their hands.
IoT use cases with NFC providing commissioning, connectivity and control are exploding.
Key growth areas for NFC along with IoT are automotive, public transport and the well-established retail and payment sector.
Juniper Research, mPOS to Process Over 20% of Retail Point-of-Sale Transactions by 2021, June 6, 2016
Definition: Juniper defines a mobile payment accessory as: an electronic accessory which provides point-of-sale functionality via a contact or wireless connection to a mobile device
NFC is mainstream and out-front.
NFC can be found in textiles, automobiles and even foot balls. I added that last one in honor of the World Cup. Two NFC Forum members – Smartrac and Blue Bite worked with Adidas to create the NFC-enabled ball.
Forrester, “The NFC Opportunity in IoT,” VISIONFC, Dallas, June 2016, http://www.slideshare.net/NFC-Forum/visionfc-an-nfc-forum-event-the-future-of-the-internet-of-things-nfc-presentations
Many of these opportunities will involve NFC tags.
Automotive: Honda, Mercedes, BMW, Cadillac have already added NFC to their vehicle platforms.
Smart wearables: How many people here own a FitBit, Apple watch?
IoT: Global spending on devices will top $1.5 trillion in two years. They will need connectivity, commissioning and control.
Public transportation: IHS and Juniper predict that the mobile ticketing market will grow at (CAGR) by almost 20 percent over the next three years. The growth drivers will be: Rapid increase in NFC mobile ticketing applications (apps): Customer demand for more convenient mobile ticketing options and Rise of NFC-enabled smartphones and wearables capable of handling mobile ticketing services.

Key interoperability partners include ISO, GSMA and EMVCO.
Plugfests are held multiple times per year to test interoperability. We have an Interoperability Testing Library and offer Use Cases and Reporting.
Legacy contactless cards and systems migrating into dematerialized NFC solutions…
Fragmentation of contactless standards hampers the market
Responsible bodies for ISO/IEC14443, EMVCo L1 and ISO/IEC18092 worked in parallel for almost one decade w/o effective synchronization
Results in deviations in specifications and test methods Interoperability between contactless standards is not guaranteed
Devil is in details
In last 18 months NFC Forum has certified interoperability with 21 Universal Devices and 37 tags.
How nfc forum can help you?
Specifications, certification program, SIGs.
Many of these future opportunities will rely on tags – both RFID and NFC.
RFID and NFC can be complementary
Interoperability is an ongoing, everchanging technical challenge.
This slide is a recently completed public transport certified harmonization of standards among public transport operators lead by the NFC Forum. It can serve, in part, as a blueprint for what could be done in the IoT space.
A Future of Public Transport Interoperability
The widespread adoption of NFC in Public Transport requires the assurance that NFC-enabled devices will interoperate with existing Public Transport systems throughout the world. Working with industry organizations, standards bodies, and Public Transport Operators, the NFC Forum has succeeded in providing this assurance by harmonizing the specifications of mobile device NFC interface with those of Public Transport readers and cards. Test specifications have been amended accordingly. These actions have provided Public Transport Operators, Mobile Network Operators, and handset manufacturers with a roadmap for accelerating the implementation of NFC-enabled mobile ticketing. The pieces are in place to enable Radio Frequency interoperability for Public Transport systems – without changing Public Transport infrastructures.
Key takeaway on this slide is the NFC Forum Transport SIG harmonized the specifications of mobile device NFC interfaces and PT readers and cards and established standards for testing mobile devices and PT equipment.
We did not do this alone. We drove collaboration with key industry players in both the technical and marketing areas.
Wireless charging specification expected next year
Introduction
NFC technology allows transferring power to a Tag in order to enable communication. This is achieved by providing a constant carrier signal. This specification aims to extend this scope and targets to use the NFC communication link to control the power transferred. Thus the pure communication purpose of NFC is extended to wireless charging.
The amount of transferred power can be used to charge small NFC enabled devices like smartwatches, activity trackers, headsets and other consumer’s electronics devices.
The benefits of the usage of NFC technology for wireless charging are:
Use of existing NFC specification for controlling the wireless power charging,
Share of the same antenna for communication and power charging.
Objectives
The objective of this document is to provide the technical foundation for wireless charging at 13.56 MHz using NFC technology. This includes the initiation, control and execution of the wireless power transfer.
The scope of this specification is to define the method and procedure to achieve wireless power charging between two NFC wireless charging enabled devices.
This specification defines the requirements that ensure interoperability between NFC wireless charging devices.
