NFC 15 comes with improved range and better features | Infinium-tech
The NFC Forum introduced the version 15 of the standard NFC (near Field Communication) standard. The most notable upgradation is extended communication range. It is now 2 cm, above 0.5 cm. This makes tasks such as contactless payments rapidly and more stable.
With increased range, NFC no longer requires accurate device alignment and enables more consistent connections. New NFC 15 benefits compact devices such as smartphones and wearables.
The new NFC standard must reduce failed tap payments, for example, and NFC use simplifies. It also enables public transport, better “digital key” experience and smooth interaction in easy wireless charging alignment.
Despite the extended limit, the NFC Forum says the new standard does not compromise safety. It is a close-based feature and protects the contactless payment.
NFC 15 also brings support for digital product passport (DPP), allowing brands to store the product life cycle data using the brand NFC data exchange format (NDEF).
Technical specifications of NFC 15 standard are already available, while public access and compliance certification will begin this decline.
