MAKING WIRELESS WORK
NFC, RFID, & Bluetooth - Different Purposes & Strengths
RFID (100 meters)
• Closed, read-only industrial
applications, e.g. inventory control
and supply chain
Bluetooth (10 meters)
• Longer-range consumer and
business applications e.g. pairing
two intelligent devices
NFC (10.6 centimeters)
• Close range applications for
greater security and control
• Built into consumer devices,
payment readers, Apple Pay,
Android Pay, etc.
10. 99
NFC is Intended, Intuitive, Globally interoperable
• A two-way data communications standard
• Able to deliver power simultaneously
• Short range, offering improved security & control
• Able to act as both a reader and a tag
Different from RFID:
• NFC reads tags for a virtually unlimited set of apps
• An NFC-enabled device is all it takes to read them
Different from Bluetooth:
• NFC supports card emulation for payments – a plus
in retail settings where Bluetooth Beacons and NFC
work together to compete the sale
• NFC is incorporated into the Bluetooth specification,
offering the fastest and simplest way to pair devices

ENHANCING THE RETAIL EXPERIENCE
Contactless, Connected, User-initiated
Pull & Pay: NFC enables consumers to
request (pull) information, both in-store
and elsewhere:
• Tap NFC tag-enabled merchandise
and shelves as well as make
purchases
• No special download is required with
an NFC-enabled device
Push: BLE enables retailers to broadcast
(push) information to shoppers on-site
through in-store at a range of up to 150
meters:
• Consumer must willingly download app
• BLE Beacons recognize and
communicate with app without user
interaction
Track: With RFID-enabled
wearable technology (provided by
the store or brand), retailers have
the ability to:
• Track how many people move
through store
• Identify which products or
services are most popular
