What is NFC (Near Field Communication)?
NFC, short for Near Field Communication in English, is a new generation wireless communication technology. It has been translated into Turkish as near field communication. It is a technology standard that enables two NFC compatible devices that are close to each other to communicate via wireless technology at a close distance but without touching each other. The NFC forum, founded by Nokia, Sony and NXP, works on the development and dissemination of this technology.
