NFC technology – what is it?

NFC (Near Field Communication) is a wireless technology that allows data exchange between two devices at a distance of up to 10 cm. This technology is based on RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology and operates at a frequency of 13.56 MHz.

With NFC, you can transfer a variety of data. Such as contacts, photos, web pages, music, videos, and other files between two devices. NFC is also used for contactless payments using a mobile phone or other devices.

NFC technology is very popular in modern smartphones and tablets. As well as in other devices such as passports, access cards, tickets and others. NFC provides a convenient and fast way to exchange data. Between devices without the need for cables or other conductive means of data transmission.

NFC technology provides secure data exchange through encryption and authentication

In addition, NFC works in “read-only” or “read-write” mode, which provides control over data exchange and protection against unauthorized access to information.

One example of the use of NFC is contactless payments using a mobile phone or a special card with an NFC chip. To make a payment, simply swipe your phone or card over a special device that reads data from the NFC chip and makes the payment.

NFC technology is also used in other areas. For example, in logistics and inventory management. Where it helps track the movement of goods and control their quantity in warehouses. NFC can also be used to automatically enter homes and offices, exchange keys and access cards.

In general, NFC technology provides a convenient and secure way to exchange data between devices and has great potential for use in various industries.
