NFC Everywhere
Near Field Communication is hot. In today’s increasingly connected world, this simple, intuitive technology lets you interact securely with the world around you with a simple touch. Fast, seamless, and easy to use, NFC is now available in hundreds of millions of smartphones, tablets, and other consumer electronics, with new devices arriving almost daily.
NFC offers the ultimate in security and convenience, and makes new interactions possible. It transforms the already dynamic mobile user experience in a way that enables the "Internet of Things". Now "smart posters", location based check-in signs, a friend's tablet, a ticketing or payment terminal can all interact with your mobile device, securely and seamlessly.
From the simple exchange of business cards to sophisticated personalized transactions, loyalty programs, and even devices that can commission and configure themselves, NFC opens up a whole new world of possibilities.
