5 BIG REASONSTO CONSIDER NFC1. You’ll speak with intentionNFC involves only two devices at once, so there’s no crosstalk. Plus, you avoid being overheard and keep secrets safe by getting close before you start to speak[…] |

NFC USE CASES - ACCESS CONTROLNFC brings mobility to the highest level of security for physical and logical access, so you can do more with your smartphone or a wearable. When you leave home, your phone or wristband can lock the door, and when you arrive at work, it can serve as your ID badge, your computer logon, and your authorization to use certain machines. Your device can also open your hotel room or be your event ticket. With NFC, you reduce waste, increase security, and gain the ability to grant or deny access, as needed, from a remote location[…] |
 |
NFC USE CASES - PAIRING & COMMISSIONINGJust bringing two NFC-enabled devices close together is all it takes to create a connection. What’s more, NFC can also trigger other protocols, like Bluetooth, ZigBee, or Wi-Fi. Pairing is practically instantaneous and, because NFC only works when you ask it to, there aren’t any unintended device connections, and none of the device conflicts that can happen with Bluetooth.It’s also easier to commission new devices or expand your home network, even if you’re adding devices that don’t have a battery – and there’s no need to search for a connection or type in a serial number[…] |
 |
NFC USE CASES - AUTHENTICATION & IDENTIFICATIONNFC is the one technology that makes it easier and safer, at every point of ownership, to enjoy any type of electronic device. From using personal care items and household appliances to adjusting settings of smart gym equipment based on your very own profile, NFC can simplify configuration, increase personalization, enable reorders, enhance safety, and fight fakes.The same NFC operations increase automation in industrial settings, too, for greater efficiency[…] |
 |
NFC USE CASES - PARAMETRIZATION & DIAGNOSISAny NFC-enabled phone or tablet can serve as a temporary touchscreen for your product, enabling sophisticated interactions and configurability at little additional cost. Your product can be smaller, lighter, more rugged, and less expensive to produce – yet easier to use. What’s more, NFC works with sealed devices, so sensors operating in difficult environments can easily interact with the control unit. Energy harvesting uses power from the active reader device, so unlike Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, with NFC the device doesn’t need a battery to send or receive information. Systems with a battery can even remain in sleep mode while being read[…] |
 |
NFC USE CASES - PAYMENTState-of-the-art contactless technology lets you do business with open systems like EMV, or with closed systems like MIFARE. You can count on full compatibility with every form factor, from smartcards and NFCequipped mobile phones to wearables, tokens, and more. Using contactless technology also lets you increase consumer share-of-mind with value-added services, such as personalized messages, loyalty programs, and coupons based on recent purchases[…] |
