Nokia Putting a NFC Chip Inside Every Smart Phone Of Its 2011 Lineup
Nokia will put a NFC-chip inside every smart phone that they release year 2011. A Near Field Communication chip can be used for instance to pay groceries at a store that is equipped with a NFC-reader. Anssi Vanjoki announced Nokia’s plans to use the NFC-chip at a Forum in Helsinki, Finland, today.
The NFC-chips range is only a under 4 centimeters, while a RFID chip can transmit much longer distances. NFC-chips are better for security, when you actually have to place the device on the reader, and it is hard to read it without the users approval.
