Near field communication, or NFC, is a set of short-range wireless
technologies, typically requiring a distance of 4 cm or less. NFC
operates at 13.56 MHz and at rates ranging from 106 kbit/s to 848
kbit/s. NFC always involves an initiator and a target; the initiator
actively generates an RF field that can power a passive target.
This enables NFC targets to take very simple form factors such as
tags, stickers, key fobs, or cards that do not require batteries.
NFC peer-to-peer communication is of course possible, where both
devices are powered. According to the NFC Forum, the three main
uses of NFC currently are “sharing, pairing, and transaction.” Global
companies are interested in NFC’s ability to provide pervasive marketing,
simplify processes, and facilitate contactless payment for goods."
