What is near-field communication?
NFC is simply a technology that allows devices such as smartphones and smart watches, to exchange small bits of information with other devices (like tags), and can read NFC-equipped cards over short distances; usually a couple of inches from another NFC device.
Most people would be surprised to know that their cellphone has a passive NFC scanner, which can be turned on/off at the user’s discretion. And those of us who have carried out mobile payments, have actually been using NFC.
Are NFC and RFID the same?
NFC is very similar to RFID (or radio-frequency identification), which you have probably used, while accessing an office, gym or underground garage, with a security card or keychain fob.
NFC does not require manual pairing device discovery steps, or passwords, that sometimes come up when using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi devices.
Using NFC for personal identification
Users can take advantage of NFC technology for personal identification by using NFC-enabled devices such as smartphones, smart cards, wristbands, or wearable tags. With NFC, users can securely store and access personal information, such as identification cards, transit passes, and emergency contact information, on their devices or wearables. For example, in healthcare, NFC can be used to store medical information on a wristband or wearable tag, allowing emergency healthcare providers to quickly access vital information in case of an emergency. Additionally, NFC can be used for child safety by providing kids with NFC-enabled wristbands or tags. If a child gets lost, their NFC tag can be scanned to retrieve contact information, ensuring a swift reunion with their family. NFC offers a fast, secure, and contactless way to manage personal identification and safety, enhancing convenience and security in various aspects of life.
