Near Field Communication

There are several projects for the final year engineering students and it is ideal to choose a project that is genuine and within the time frame. To name a few there are projects on Control Engineering, Telecommunication Systems, NFC, Power Plant Analysis, Robotics, and Computer Securities and so on.
Of these, the most useful and innovative project in today’s computer World is the Near Field Communication or NFC Project. This new technology has been jointly developed by Sony and Philips. The name “Near Field” is because the operation of NFC is only over a few centimeters and comes under the short distance communication technology.
NFC technology comes with a number of benefits that other standard wireless technologies do not have. It has created a place for itself in several project applications which were earlier not appropriate for use in wireless communication technologies.
The keystone of the new NFC-based logistics is the checkout and payment method, where most paybacks can be attained. As a result, crowded counters could be avoided and the store capacity increased thereby improving customer satisfaction.
Though smartphones support NFC communications, other innovative applications are also possible with NFC in various sectors. NFC is a promising technology & a potential communication for final year engineering students for their projects as it uses very less power as compared to other conventional communication technologies.

NFC

NFCNear Field Communication Technology. This technology is standardized in ISO 18092. NFC devices operate in three different modes, namely tag emulation mode, peer to peer mode and reader/writer mode.  Bidirectional communication occurs between two mobile devices which use NFC Tags. Radio Frequency is one of the main technologies used here.

People can communicate with each other over a maximum distance of about 20 centimeters. So, people may have a doubt how this technology works? Basically, a near field transmitter and receiver act as the best components to transfer and receive the data during communication. Data transmission can be transferred at a maximum speed of 800 kbps.

“Tags” is the word used repeatedly here. So it is nothing but the integrated circuit that contains the data. This tag is linked to an antenna and from here; the data is read through the reader.

Applications of NFC:-

Near Field Communication is mainly used in,

  • Contactless payment systems
  • Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Connections
  • Social Networking
  • To identify Documents

NFC Contactless credit card payments

Near Field Communication is one of the secure chip based technology. This is used in most of the smart phones which every person should make use of in their day to day activities. This is wireless technology where data can be transferred between mobile devices in short range.

Phones that are integrated with NFC tags have the ability to transfer data in more secure way. Eg:- Contactless credit card payments. This technology is more versatile technique used in telecommunication technology. It is also known for the easy usage because all data namely coupons, rewards and so on in smartphones itself.  These coupons are actually downloaded from websites and exchanged between mobile phones.

NFC tags generally contain a phone number or url. Smart Touch is the project which helps us to pick the info from tagged locations. Thus NFC based projects are more effective and interesting for college students during their project accomplishment.
