Near Field Communication (NFC) March 18th 2004 – CeBIT Hanover, Germany Nokia, Sony & Philips Establish NFC Forum
NFC technology gives the consumer electronics industry a new bridge over many devices
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 >80% 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 Sources: Nokia, Froster & Sullivan; Forrester
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
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 today’s payment & ticketing systems NFC Is Aligned With User’s RFID Requirements
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.
