Near Field Communication Australia 2007

NFC - Get in at the ground floor

Near Field Communication (NFC) technology is getting significant market traction, with major commercial trials currently running in across the world.

With more than 40 million contactless payment cards expected to be shipped globally by the end of 2006, Near Field Communication -enabled handsets will soon become the choice platform for the mobile market.

Experts predict that by 2010, more than 500 million handsets will incorporate NFC capabilities – which will be used not only for payments at points of sale and remotely, but will also be able to access information from smart objects.

Near Field Communication has now hit Australia – with organisations such as Commonwealth Bank and 7-11 pushing forward with trials and implementation.

Now is the perfect time for a strategic look at how Near Field Communication will revolutionise the payments, retail and carrier landscape.
