Near Field Communications (NFC) is a short range, zero configuration, wireless communication, it evolves from radio frequency identification (RFID) and inter-working technology, combining induction card reader, induction card with peer-to-peer function on a single chip to identify and exchange data with compatible devices over short distances.

1. What is NFC
Welcome to Near Field Communication NFC, in this article we will get to know
more about NFC (near field communication) and how it can make our life
better.
Near Field Communications (NFC) is a short range, zero configuration, wireless
communication, it evolves from radio frequency identification (RFID) and
inter-working technology, combining induction card reader, induction card with
peer-to-peer function on a single chip to identify and exchange data with
compatible devices over short distances.It is a set of standards for
smartphones and other similar devices to establish radio communication with
each other by touching them together or bring them into close proximity,
usually no more than a few centimeters.
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology designed to allow
objects, animals and even human beings to be identified, located, and tracked
using radio frequency signals. RFID can be used for a variety of applications,
many of which have to do with tracking of objects. However, NFC may not be
suitable for applications where ultra-high availability is a requirement. NFC
allows a device, usually a mobile phone, to collect data from another device or
NFC tag at close range.
NFC is targeted for personal use mostly with mobile phones.Near field
communication (NFC) technology allows easily and intuitively use your
smartphone for some special purposes.The technology is widely used in Japan
and South Korea at present,Mobile phone users with payment function phones
can traveled across the country: their mobile phone can be used as the airport
boarding validation, building entrance guard key, Transportation card, credit
card, payment card, etc.
NFC is getting popular, you might have seen people tapping their phone on
smart movie posters, making mobile payments in McDonald or using NFC tags
for home automation. If store is equipped with NFC tags associated with a
product, customer can find useful information about that product by waving
his/her smartphone over NFC tag. With smartphone-integrated NFC

2. technology, you can easily touch your phone to purchase items, share business
cards, download discount coupons and so on. You will see many NFC-based
new usages will be developed in the future.
There are endless possibilities for NFC technology. With the growing and
developing electric industry, technology continues to spread out, revealing
more and more applications available for end users. Further applications are
produced, as more and more people are using NFC and it has become
ubiquitous.
