What is RFID? • Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) • wireless non-contact use of Radiofrequency electromagnetic fields to transfer data, for the purpose of automatically identifying and tracking tags attached to objects.
RFID- How does it work? • 3 components: • antenna • RFID reader/ interrogator • RFID tag/ “smart label” • Passive • Active • RFID and how it works
RFID- How does it work? Diagram of how RFID works:
RFID- How is it used? • First used on military aircrafts to identify approaching planes, friend or foe (WWII) • Convenience for the consumers • implanted in people to track personnel • tracking distribution of products from manufacturer to stores.
RFID- Who is using it? • Hospitals • Construction/ Engineering • Grocery Stores • Walmart • Agriculture
What is NFC? • Near Field Communication (NFC) • a short-range wireless technology that enables the communication between devices over a short distance.
NFC- How does it work? • Components: • NFC transmitter • NFC tag • Passive • Active

NFC- How is it used? • Making payments • Data Exchange • Ticketing • Smart Posters
NFC- Who is using it? • Target • Walmart • Safeway • Starbucks • Nordstroms • Coca-Cola • Popeyes
NFC - Effects on Businesses Quick, Secure Transactions
NFC - Effects on Businesses Peer-to-Peer Communications
NFC - Effects on Businesses Information Transfer
RFID - Advantages • Quality Control • Reliable Supply • Chain Management • Enhanced Inventory • Replenishment
RFID - Disadvantages • Costly • Lacks Standardization • Reliability Issues • Privacy Concerns
RFID - Have the issues been resolved? • High Return on Investment • Development of Standards • Ongoing improvements of • data management • Increasing protection • measures
Advantages of NFC ●Convenience ●User Friendly ●Versatile Businesses has advantages too . . . ●Improve Customer Service ●Real Time Updates-Improve staff communication Track employees, update notes
Disadvantages of NFC •Costly for Businesses •Privacy Concerns •Security Risks oEavesdropping oData Modification oRelay of Attack (man-in-the-middle) )
Similarities and Differences ~ Two-way communication ~ One-way communication ~ Operating range up to 10cm ~ Operating range up to 100m ~ New technology-subset of ~ Older Technology RFID ~ One trick tech: detects info ~ Complex-3 Modes from tag-inventory control
Future of NFC • NFC technology is already widely used in Europe, Asia, and Japan • Starting to gain rapid development in U.S. • ABI Research predicts that “1.95 billion NFC-enabled devices will ship in 2017” • NFC Forum states that “the global membership of NFC in its forum has exceeded 170 organizations”
