NFC-Anabled Phone Technology

NFC stands for Near Field Communication, is (meaningful) short-range wireless technology (distance of 4 cm or less). NFC operates at 13.56 MHz and at rates ranging from 106 kbit/s to 848 kbit/s. NFC communication always involves an initiator and a target: the initiator actively generates an RF field that can power a passive target. This enables NFC targets to take very simple form factors such as tags, stickers, key fobs, or cards that do not require batteries. NFC peer-to-peer communication is also possible, where both devices are powered.



Methods of payment and online transactions increasingly popular especially users of the gadget. This method offers the ease of such transactions, pay bills, purchase goods (the device transforms as a debit / credit card payment), public transportation ticketing, electronic payment and so forth. Devices with NFC capabilities more specific on the hardware investment (NFC chipset), thus changing the device (in this case mobile phones) just like as your credit card function.

One of the supporters of this technology is the NFC, where devices with embedded NFC chipset can function as an initiator (device 1) that reads the target (device 2). Initiator will read data from a passive target, such as tags, stickers, key fobs, cards (credit / debit cards), identification documents (passports, visas, etc.), travel cards, mobile commerce and electronics keys (for the car keys, home / office / romm hotel keys and other personal) and even P2P communications betwen two NFC-enabled devices. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near_field_communication
