NFC technology gives the consumer electronics
industry a new bridge over many devices
9
NFC is based on RFID technology

• NFC works in the globally available 13.56 MHz
  band
• The effective working distance is up to a few
  centimeters
• Based on ISO 18092 including ISO14443A MiFare and
  FeliCa standards, i.e., compatible with the most
  broadly established smart card infrastructure
  covering gt80 of the market

Technology

• Tags in smart objects are powered by the radio
  signal of the reader, and do not require any
  battery or other source of power
• The tags contain some memory that can store URLs,
  SMS and similar information
• Costs currently a few ten EUR cents and
  decreasing rapidly

Tags
Devices

• Devices do not contain tags, but can communicate
  using the same interface
• Devices can not only read tags, but also write
  to enabled tags

New exciting, easy and intuitive way of using
mobile phones with NFC technology
Easy and concrete access to services, content and
repeat functions by touching
Example Connect to operator service portal, Song
download
Transfer of digital items between devices as a
simple gesture of giving
Example Sharing large video clips
In the future, also fast and convenient local
payment and ticketing
Example Public transport tickets

Touching is a New, Intuitive Way of Using Cell
Phones

• NFC enabled cell phones will be more intuitive to
  use for consumers and enterprises
• Touch-based usage will improve the user
  experience of existing services, and will create
  completely new applications and value
• A new infrastructure of smart objects, tags and
  devices will emerge to complement existing
  technologies

12
NFC Is Aligned With Users RFID Requirements

• Reading distance is very short (a few cm),
  supports a new touch experience
• Different from existing RFID as it allows two
  devices to connect together
• NFC is compatible with a large number todays
  payment ticketing systems

13
The NFC Forum - A global, special interest group
(SIG)

• The vision of the NFC Forum is to enable users to
  access content and services in an intuitive way
  by simply touching smart objects and connecting
  devices just by holding them next to each other.
• To bring this vision to life, Nokia, Philips and
  Sony invite leading companies from mobile
  communications, consumer electronics, chip
  manufacturing, computing, media and
  entertainment, telecom and payment services to
  join the NFC Forum.
• The NFC Forum is a non-profit organization and
  aims to support use of the technology in the
  industry by providing a platform for interested
  companies to achieve interoperability of devices
  with other devices and services.
