NFC stands for Near Field Communication.
Before getting into the Technical briefing of the technology I would like to make it interesting to general users by explaining its benefits once it reaches masses.
NFC is such a great technology that will make our wallets lighter and thinner by moving all our credit cards, debit cards and various other membership cards, our movie tickets, bus tickets and even our business cards, that we use in paper or Plastic form as virtual cards(Application), in our mobile phone.
Interesting Hmmm...
That means even if we forget our wallets, we can enjoy!!!
NFC is short range wireless technology based on RFID that works at 13.56 MHz to communicate between various NFC enabled devices.
Some Tech Definition: Near Field Communication , as a subset of RFID(Radio Frequency Identification), is a bidirectional short range communication technology. NFC allows an interaction distance of approximately 5-10 cm and a maximum data rate of 424kb/s. It works via electromagnetic field induction, thus it is designed for simple and safe data exchange directly between two devices. NFC offers three different operation modes: passive tag (card emulation), active devices for reading and writing of passive tags and peer to peer communication (both devices are active). NFC allows both, convenient and intuitive interactions. It enables users to exchange data, connect and configure devices or use services like contactless payment and e-ticketing in a very easy way.
Once you get into this domain and look around for sources of information you will come across devices that are NFC capable but not enabled. That means it has got NFC chip inside but not supported to be used because of lack of software.
One such example is Nokia C7-00 launched in India. Once a software upgrade is available, it will enable its NFC capability.
