What is NFC?
Near Field Communication (NFC) is a short-range wireless technology that enables contactless data exchange between devices within a 4 cm range. Commonly used in mobile payments, ticketing, and smart access systems, NFC allows quick, secure transactions with just a tap. It operates at 13.56 MHz and supports data transfer speeds up to 424 kbps. Major applications include Apple Pay, Google Wallet, and public transport cards. Unlike Bluetooth, NFC requires no manual pairing, making it more convenient for fast interactions. With growing adoption in smartphones and IoT devices, NFC is revolutionizing digital transactions and connectivity. Its low power consumption and ease of use ensure widespread future integration.
