NFC stands for Near Field Communication.
NFC is an extension of Radio Frequency IDentifier popularly known as RFID.
NFC is a short range high frequency wireless communication technology.
NFC was founded in the year 2004 by NOKIA, SONY and PHILIPS.
2. WHAT IS NFC…??
NFC stands for Near Field Communication.
NFC or Near Field Communication is a short range high
frequency wireless communication technology.
A radio communication is established by touching the two
phones or keeping them in a proximity of a few
centimeters.
NFC is mainly aimed for mobile or handheld devices.
NFC is an extension of Radio frequency identification or
RFID technology.
RFID is mainly used for tracking and identification by
sending radio waves.
3. EVOLUTION OF NFC TECHNOLOGY
In 2004, NFC Forum was formed by Nokia, Philips, Sony, to
set standards for NFC . Every NFC enabled device will
have “N-Mark” trademark ,developed by NFC Forum.
N MARK TRADEMARK
4. EVOLUTION OF NFC TECHNOLOGY
In 2006
The first Mobile Phone with NFC Technology
was developed by NOKIA, and they named the
device as NOKIA 6131.
5. EVOLUTION OF NFC TECHNOLOGY
IN SMARTPHONES
In 2010
First Smartphone to have NFC Technology was developed
by Samsung and they named the device as NEXUS S.
6. MECHANISM OF NFC TECHNOLOGY
Near field communication is based on inductive-coupling.
NFC works using magnetic induction between two loop
antennas located within each other's 'near field’.
7. OPERATION OF NFC
TECHNOLOGY
Operating Frequency :13.56 MHz .
Data Transfer Rate : 106 kbps – 424kbps.
Working Range : <20cm
NFC use an initiator and a target, that is
the initiator actively generates an RF
field that can power a passive target.
9. MODES OF OPERATION
In Active mode, both devices with NFC chip generates an
electromagnetic field and exchange data.
Two NFC enabled
devices transferring
data in active mode
10. MODES OF OPERATION
In Passive mode, there is only one active device and the
other uses that field to exchange information.

phone is paired with a
RFID-tagged "smart poster"
11. APPLICATION OF NFC
TECHNOLOGY
NFC applications can be split into the following three
basic categories:
Touch and Go
Touch and Confirm
Touch and Connect
12. APPLICATION OF NFC TECHNOLOGY
Touch and Go
Applications such as access control or transport/event ticketing,
where the user needs only to bring the device storing the ticket or access
code close to the reader. Example for picking up an Internet URL from a
smart label on a poster.
Touch and go
Mode of
application
13. APPLICATION OF NFC TECHNOLOGY
GETTING MOVIE TICKETS USING YOUR PHONE AS ROOM KEY
14. APPLICATION OF NFC TECHNOLOGY
Touch and Confirm
Applications such as mobile payment where the user has to
confirm the interaction by entering a password or just accepting the
transaction.
16. APPLICATION OF NFC TECHNOLOGY
Touch and Connect
Linking two NFC-enabled devices to enable peer to peer transfer of data such
as downloading music, exchanging images or synchronizing address books.
Data transfer via NFC
17. ADVANTAGES OF NFC TECHNOLOGY
No special software.
No search and pair procedure.
No manual configuration and settings.
Secure communication.
Reduces cost of electronic issuance .
High convenience to the user, because the data
exchange is done by bringing two mobiles together.
18. DISADVANTAGES OF NFC TECHNOLOGY
NFC Technology has the limitation that it can be
operated only with devices under a short range of
less than 20cm.
The Data Transfer Rate is very less at about
106kbps - 424kbps
20. FUTURE PLANS OF NFC TECHNOLOGY
New generations of Apple iPod and iPad products would
reportedly be equipped with NFC capability which would
enable small-scale transactions.
In 2017, NFC will upgrade its Data Transfer Rate to
8392 kbps.
NFC will soon be capable of replacing all of your keys and ID
badges using only your phone. Open and start your car with
the wave of a phone, open doors at your workplace and even
your home safely and securely.
