All Tapni products use NFC technology in addition to having a QR code... but what is NFC? 🤔

💥 NFC, short for Near Field Communication, is a short-range wireless communication technology that allows data transfer between devices that are within a few centimeters of each other, usually less than 10 cm.

Have you ever paid with a card in a restaurant or shop by just touching it to the payment machine? Tapni works exactly the same! Just hold the Tapni card up to the other person's device and the networking of the future is right in front of you with just one tap. Imagine it - sharing all your social networks, links and desired contact information with just one swipe of a card!

Common Uses of NFC

1. Mobile Payments:
   • Cards and Digital Wallets: Services such as Google Pay, Apple Pay and Samsung Pay use NFC to allow users to make payments by tapping their phones against compatible terminals.
2. Public Transportation:
   • Electronic Ticketing: Many cities use NFC-based transportation cards that passengers can tap against readers at stations and buses to pay their fare.
3. Data Sharing:
   • File Transfer: NFC-enabled devices can share contacts, photos, videos and other data quickly by simply tapping them together.
   • Device Configuration: Connecting devices such as headsets, speakers or printers can be made easier with NFC.
4. Access Control:
   • Electronic Keys: NFC is used in access cards to open doors in office buildings, hotels and other facilities.
5. NFC Tags:
   • Automation: NFC tags can be programmed to perform specific actions when a compatible device touches them, such as changing phone settings, opening apps, etc.

Advantages of NFC

• Convenience: Does not require manual pairing like Bluetooth.
• Speed: Connection and data transfer is virtually instantaneous.
• Security: The short operating distance makes it difficult to intercept data.

NFC Challenges

• Limited Range: The maximum distance is very short, which, while increasing security, also limits the range of use.
• Compatibility: Not all devices and terminals are compatible with NFC.

In summary, NFC is a versatile and secure technology that facilitates fast and easy communication and data transfer between nearby devices. Its application in mobile payments, public transportation and many other areas continues to grow, improving the convenience and efficiency of many daily tasks. 📲
