NFC is a standards-based, short-range wireless connectivity
technology that enables simple and intuitive two-way interactions between
electronic devices. With NFC technology, consumers can perform contactless transactions,
access digital content and connect NFC-enabled devices with a single touch. NFC
simplifies setup of some longer-range wireless technologies, such as Bluetooth
and Wi-Fi. It is also compatible with the global contactless standards (ISO
14443 and/or ISO 18092), which means transport agencies that have
already deployed contactless programs enjoy a built-in advantage, as their
equipment may readily interact with NFC enabled mobile devices and provide
richer services. Communication occurs when two NFC-compatible devices are
brought within about four centimetres of each other. By design, NFC requires
close proximity and it offers instant connectivity, which provides an intuitive
consumer experience that can be readily applied to the transit environment (NFC Forum, 2011). NFC operate at
13.56MHz with data transmission rates up to 424kbit/s.
