Near Field Communications: Reality, Challenges and Opportunities

July 19, 2012

The Emerging Wireless & Mobile Software Development SIGs Present…

Near Field Communications is a short range (less than 4cm) technology that enables secure, simple, low bit rate connectivity.  It has been in development and slow deployment for a decade.  Analysts project NFC to have tremendous growth over the next few years. We will review current technology and its deployment challenges in the dominant mobile wallet ecosystem.  With the availability of NFC chipset reference platforms  and their integration in mobile devices, consumer electronics and many vertical markets, there are ecosystems and applications waiting to be innovated upon. In this talk, the technologies, standards, systems, Android implementation and some areas that NFC is being applied to: from content sharing to heath care will be presented. NFC has the potential for changing the way we interact and link our physical world interactions.
