Do you know about NFC ????

Believe it or not !!!!!!!!!

Now you can interact with bill boards , pay your travel fares and prove your identification by just moving a NFC-enabled device near the screen ...

But what is this NFC n stuff ?????????????

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a new, short-range wireless connectivity technology that evolved from a combination of existing contactless identification and interconnection technologies.

Products with built-in NFC will dramatically simplify the way consumer devices interact with one another, helping people speed connections, receive and share information and even make fast and secure payments !!!!!!!

And how does it work ????????

Operating at 13.56 MHz and transferring data at up to 424 Kbits/second, NFC provides intuitive, simple, and safe communication between electronic devices. NFC is both a “read” and “write” technology.

Communication between two NFC-compatible devices occurs when they are brought within four centimeters of one another: a simple wave or touch can establish an NFC connection, which is then compatible with other known wireless technologies such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.

There is even a forum for NFC(Near Field Communication) technology which promotes the usage of such short range wire-less devices which is a gift to the consumers ..

NFC can be used with a variety of devices, from mobile phones that enable payment or transfer information to digital cameras that send their photos to a TV set with just a touch. The possibilities are endless, and NFC is sure to take the complexities out of today’s increasingly sophisticated consumer devices and make them simpler to use

Hope this technology reaches to greater heights ..
