Near Field is getting closer and NFC is no longer just for football… NFC technology is here to stay!

Tag this and tag that, the way we accumulate information and make our payments for everyday items is soon going to change. The newest mobile technology that will standardize the international community of manufacturers, vendors, developers, and service providers has been officially launched and implemented. Initial field testing has proven to be a huge success.

Already sponsored & backed up by a number of large manufacturers & financial institutions like HP, MasterCard International, Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd., Microsoft Corp., Nokia Corporation, NEC, Renesas Technology, Royal Philips Electronics, Samsung, Sony Corporation, Texas Instruments and Visa International NFC technology is here to stay. These industry sponsors have embraced NFC technology and are moving forward to develope an international platform dedicated to the way we interact with our mobile devices.

Taking lead in this new field is the consumers forum TalkNFC.com which is building a community of NFC discussion and talk on related industry subjects. Mobile payments, ATM transactions, E-Ticketing, SmartPosters, and Marketing will take far new advances with NFC technology and the financial institutions are looking at this new technology as a new horizon of profits. Consumers and end users are the industries next hurdle as they will need to educate the consumer on Near Field Technology and how NFC technological advances will make their daily lives easier.

What is Near Field Technology?

The following text is from the official website of the NFC Forum and consortium on NFC technology. http://www.nfc-forum.org

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a standards-based, short-range wireless connectivity technology that enables simple and safe two-way interactions among electronic devices, allowing consumers to perform contactless transactions, access digital content and connect devices with a single touch.

Near Field Communication (NFC) technology evolved from a combination of contactless identification and interconnection technologies. NFC operates in the 13.56 MHz frequency range, over a typical distance of a few centimeters. The underlying layers of NFC technology are ISO, ECMA, and ETSI standards.

NFC technology is supported by all leading mobile device manufacturers and is compatible with millions of contactless cards already in use worldwide. NFC also simplifies setup of longer-range wireless technologies, such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
