Abstract

Near Field Communication (NFC) has changed the technological environment for the mobile communication and mobile payments. The technology has proven its potential to lead as the m-payments market in the future. A consistent amount of efforts have been made on the development on the NFC to increase the number of its applications, and also their scope. The technology has now started to move into commercial phase.

This unique report analyses the NFC technology at three stages: the development and standardisation process that the NFC has undergone since its inception in the market; the current NFC market status - where the technology stands now including its applications and markets? - and its future growth trends - where the industry sees NFC in the next five years - you need to know this information, and this report delivers all the answers to you in one easy to read format.

Although the industry currently faces some obstacles in terms of availability of the required infrastructure, i.e. NFC mobile phones, the NFC technology has time and again proven the potential for its commercial success in the industrial projects and consumer surveys. The industry now foresees big commercial rollouts globally. Are you ready for that commercial rollout?

The report explores a whole of range of opportunities available to the stakeholders in the NFC ecosystem. NFC has been tested and has potential for the mass-adoption in almost all segments of m-payments such as m-ticketing, m-banking, m-commerce and m-trade. While the m-payments are projected to reach the critical mass, NFC for its compatibility with the existing infrastructure is well placed to leverage the already available m-payment technologies for its robust future growth.

2007 and 2008 have seen many developments on the NFC technology - removing developmental obstacles - identified in the trials - in its way to commercial launch and harmonising it in relation to existing contactless technologies and infrastructure. A number of related contactless technologies development institutions and bodies have developed specifications and protocols for the NFC to incorporate their solutions into the NFC ecosystem. This 100+ page report highlights these developments at two separate stages: giving an outline of the important industrial projects, trials and consumers surveys and outlining the month-wise latest developments on the NFC in the years 2008 and 2009.

NFC and contactless payment ecosystem NFC is the latest but most promising of the short range contactless payment technologies. The technology particularly has huge potential for fast adaptability as an m-payment solution by the industry and consumes alike. The advantage that the NFC has over other technologies is that it "build (s) on existing communications infrastructure and user behaviour." Thus NFC has a central role on a mobile phone, it can work side-by-side with the existing contactless technologies, either as a standalone technology or in a collaborative environment, while leveraging the existing infrastructure. The technology has capability to communicate directly with different devices or indirectly i.e. in Bluetooth pairing.

The technology relates to

contactless cards
SIM-based solutions
Bluetooth-led communication
Felica
IrDA standards
NFC mobile phones
RFID
Contactless readers, writers, tags and coupons
mobile based payment solutions
mWallet
Single Wireless Protocol etc

Any latest news? The UK banking group Barclays in January 2009 announced plans to replace its entire fleet of debit cards with new ones featuring NFC contactless-payment functionality. From March 2009 onwards, any replacement cards issued by the bank will come embedded with NFC chips, enabling users to pay for goods under. The bank estimates its entire debit card estate will be contactless by the end of 2011.
