But now that New Zealanders are only just clicking on to, and know how, of QR is it about to change and be replaced by NFC (Near Feild Communication) or RFID (Radio Frequency ID)?
NFC is already being tested by New Zealand banks as a way of making payments by using a phone.
The benefits of using NFC consumers and businesses:
- Intuitive: NFC interactions require no more than a simple touch
- Versatile: NFC is ideally suited to the broadest range of industries, environments, and uses
- Open and standards-based: The underlying layers of NFC technology follow universally implemented ISO, ECMA, and ETSI standards
- Technology-enabling: NFC facilitates fast and simple setup of wireless technologies, such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc.)
- Inherently secure: NFC transmissions are short range (from a touch to a few centimeters)
- Interoperable: NFC works with existing contactless card technologies
- Security-ready: NFC has built-in capabilities to support secure applications
RFID can be used in a variety of applications such as airport baggage tracking logistics, tracking of goods, people or animals and even to track sporting memorabilia to verify authenticity.
Or will NFC, RFID and QR be used along side each other?
