2. Introduction to NFC
• NFC is one of the latest wireless communication technologies. As a short-
range wireless connectivity technology, NFC offers safe — yet simple and
intuitive — communication between electronic devices.
• Enables the exchange of data between devices over a distance of up to 20
centimetres.
• NFC-enabled devices can simply point or touch their making application
and data usage easy and convenient.

3. How NFC Works
• NFC is based on RFID technology that uses magnetic
field induction to enable communication between
electronic devices in close proximity. NFC operates at
13.56 MHz
• For two devices to communicate using NFC, one
device must have an NFC reader/writer and one
must have an NFC tag. The tag is essentially an
integrated circuit containing data, connected to an
antenna, that can read and written by the reader.
