Near Field Communication (NFC) is becoming an increasingly common feature in smart phones and other mobile devices. Not only has this technology led to the rapid adoption of digital payments, but it has opened up new possibilities in industrial applications as well. These include automatic meter reading and smart grid implementations for applications like those that enable secure pre-payment via NFC-enabled phones and those that equip consumers with mobile apps for personal energy management.
Avnet team has developed an NFC reader module to help manufacturers stay ahead of the field. With this module, NFC technology can be integrated and implemented faster into smart meter designs and other applications that may require secure payment features.
