NFC Capabilities

Card Emulation

• The ability for the mobile handset to act as a RFID enabled contactless card (e.g. payment cards, employee badge, student ID, loyalty cards, healthcare cards) when presented to a RFID reader (e.g. point of sale reader, access control reader (e.g. employer turnstile), mass transit)

Service Discovery

• The ability for the mobile handset to be a RFID reader and read passive RFID tags/stickers/labels/cards, etc. The mobile handset reads the information from the passive RFID tag and acts accordingly (displays the information on the mobile browser or launches an application)

Peer-to-Peer

• Connects a NFC enabled mobile device to another NFC enabled device (e.g. mobile handset, wireless headset or a home office system) then allows a small amount of data to be transferred via NFC or enables another technology take over (e.g. Bluetooth pairing)
