2. Focus on NFC

NFC technology is based on existing contactless technologies, and in some respects is inseparable from them. It was essential to introduce the appropriate vocabulary and clarify the link between HF RFID technologies and NFC. This section will deal with this technology as presented by equipment manufacturers and the organizations promoting it.

2.1 NFC Forum

With all the pre-NFC standards and proprietary systems, ensuring interoperability between all these contactless technologies is an ambitious undertaking. To guarantee the success of this technology, however, it is essential that new NFC equipment is compatible with the standards that already exist and dominate the market. To encourage this interoperability and promote the technology worldwide, a consortium...
