1. NFC for the Real World
What is it, how does it work, and ideas to
extend the usage of NFC in real-life cases.
Presenter: Robert Labancz
2. What is it?
• Short-range wireless communication technology
• Communicates at 13.56MHz
• Operates up to 10 cm
• Transfers data at a speed of 106 - 424 kilobits/s
3. • Two device types:
• Initiator - initiates communication, controls data exchange
• Target - responds to requests from initiator
• Two modes:
• Active
- both devices generate RF
• Passive
- only one NFC device generates RF field (initiator)
- the other (target) transfers data back to initiator
