Site Survey: Industrial Applications of Near Field Communication over Radio Frequency Identification

Abstract

This research article is about the Near Field Communication (NFC) over RFID. Many rural areas are being surveyed during the research about the application of NFC card. People in these areas are using these cards for transacting money to get water. NFC is the descendant of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) or we can say that it’s the improvised version of that technology. Technically its working principal is based on RFID; it is almost similar to Bluetooth in applications because it permits communication between two active devices. Now in current time, it has applications mostly in the field of electronic payment without any contact. In this brief content, we discussed the working operation of NFC. Then we have compared both RFID and NFC on the basis of their working and their applications. We added some reference studies depending upon the use of NFC cards in some of mobile phones. Our case study was based on a small scale system; that involves our practically visited and surveyed areas of Jaipur where people are using NFC cards successfully providing specific guidelines.
