[IT 802D] Near Field Communication (NFC)

In the last few days, I came across this term quite a few times. the concept seems interesting. Google is already deploying the technology. In a typical arrangement, business will have these NFC stickers and users with mobile devices, like the smartphone, can place a device very near these stickers and read off a lot of details.Business can tell them all about their business, much in the fashion of a home page on a site.

As use of wireless is proliferating, this technology should not interfere with any other wireless stuff. Hence these will use extreme low power such that the transmission is usable only in a few inches area of it.

Wireless communications for mobile devices is a big thing right now. Tablets are here and is a phenomenon, eReaders is a big deal too. Recently opened CES is reporting there are at least 100 different tablets being presented this year. Blutooth has been around for quite a while now. Wi-Fi, WiMAX and what have you! People want everything to be turn into wonders without wires. Then there is that NFC thing or the near field communications, a few inches! Could not have been a more appropriate time to read about mobile communications!
