POLL #4
Have you used RFID at your events?
RFID-Radio Frequency IDentificationRFID uses radio waves to allow a reader or scanner to communicate with a device that some sort of electronic tag built into it (think SmartTrip metro card)
TRANSACTIONAL
RFID uses
• Current uses– Used in badges at events to measure expo floor
traffic– Used at events to allow entrance into paid
sessions– Used at some hotels as key cards– Used at sporting events for timing chips
RFID specs
• RFID range can be from 1 foot but amplified to more than 300 feet
• Typically requires power from a reader
NFC-Near Field Communication
• More secure than RFID, within a few inches• Newer technology but NFC chips are compatible with
RFID• Why the switch to NFC from RFID---it’s MUCH
smarter and more secure– RFID is transactional– NFC is INTERACTIVE
NFC—barriers to entry
Required new infrastructure– Handset manufacturers– Retailers– Service providers
Who would be first?
Android Nexus S
“2011 is—finally—the year that NFC begins to matter.
The market will finally move away from the trial stage in regions
where NFC infrastructure is in place”
