Nfc Rfid Proximity Card

NFC, or Near Field Communication, is a short range wireless RFID communication technology. It means that two devices equipped with NFC technology are able to communicate with each other and share information as soon as they are close to one another. There is no need to launch an application, bringing the devices near each other automatically triggers the defined action – from a single easy “tap”!
The NFC technology is derived from RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) and works by creating a “near field” (maximum approximately 10 centimeters) using high frequencies that will allow to interact with NFC equipped devices. The technology began to be used in France in 2011, but it is just starting to thrive outside the mobile payment usage. Thus, smartphones are more and more equipped with NFC, and initiatives are multiplying to test and improve its use.
