TECHNOLOGY
What Is Near-Field Communication (NFC)?
• Near-field communication (NFC) is a short-range wireless connectivity 
technology that lets NFC-enabled devices communicate with each other.
• NFC began in the payment-card industry and is evolving to include applications 
in numerous industries worldwide.

NFC applications
• Near field communication NFC lends itself ideally to a whole variety of 
applications. These include:
– Payment cards
– Ticketing
– Mobile phones, PDAs, etc.
– Check-out cash registers or "point-of-sale" equipment
– Turnstiles
– Vending machines
– Parking meters
– ATMs

How NFC work?
• NFC near field communication is ideally 
placed to provide a link with the 
contactless smart card technology that is 
already used for ticketing and payment 
applications. 
• It is broadly compatible with the existing 
standards that have been set in place.

Contactless operating environment
• NFC is a form of RFID, but it has a specific set of standards governing its 
operation, interface, etc. 
• The NFC standards determine not only the contactless operating environment, 
but also the data formats and data transfer rates.

BENEFITS OF NEAR FIELD COMMUNICATION (NFC) 
TECHNOLOGY
Convenience and ease of use
•  Near field communications make payment transactions easy, as consumers 
often only need to hold up their phones or their NFC cards to make a payment.

Improved operational efficiency
• Near field communication allows for faster transactions which cuts down on 
the amount of time customers must wait in line as well as time spent at the 
register. 
• NFC helps speed up checkout lines, increasing customer satisfaction with your 
business.

Ease of implementation
• Near field communication technology is easy to implement. You’ll need NFC-
enabled payment terminals, like credit card terminals or integrated point of 
sale systems.

Enhanced security
• NFC signals only transmit data centimeters from the NFC device, like a payment 
terminal. 
• Unlike wireless internet technology, near field communication signals can’t be 
hacked from across town, across the street or even across the room.
