NFC (Near Field Communication) labels are a type of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag that can be read and written by NFC-enabled devices such as smartphones and tablets. They are typically used for contactless payment, access control, and data transfer.
NFC labels contain a small microchip and antenna that communicates with NFC readers using short-range wireless technology. They are designed to be small and unobtrusive, and can be placed on a variety of surfaces such as paper, plastic, or metal.
There are two types of NFC labels:
- NFC Tags: These are read-only or read-write tags that can be programmed with data such as URLs, contact information, or messages. They are commonly used for marketing and advertising, where customers can tap their smartphones on the tag to access additional information about a product or service.
- NFC Stickers: These are adhesive labels that contain an NFC chip and can be stuck to various surfaces. They are commonly used for access control, where employees can tap their ID badges on an NFC sticker to enter a building or restricted area.
NFC labels operate at a frequency of 13.56 MHz and have a range of up to a few centimeters. They are compatible with a variety of NFC-enabled devices, including smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches. NFC labels are also compatible with a range of NFC-enabled applications, such as payment systems and access control systems.
