About NFC

Near Field Communication, specified by Sony and Philips from 2002 and approved as ISO/IEC 18092 and ECMA-340 in 2003, lets devices exchange data by touch at 13.56 megahertz, building on radio frequency identification. Contactless payments, transit cards and phone pairing made it an everyday technology.
