The innovative projects of LLC “Processing Technology” are related to the development and implementation of cellular services based on NFC technology.
NFC (Near Field Communication) is a standard used for wireless communication at short-ranges (up-to 10 cm), based on the principle of magnetic field induction. It works in the unregulated range of 13.56 MHz providing bidirectional communication between two NFC enabled devices and supports data transfer rates of 106, 212 and 424 kb/s. NFC is based on the existing contactless smartcard technology, developed by NXP Semiconductors and Sony.
The main feature of the NFC technology is its capability to transfer, as well as read data, at the frequency of 13.56 MHz, for further processing, operating within the limits of the existing standards and patented technologies. This allows the device, with built-in NFC features, to emulate contactless cards, work as contactless card of the abovementioned standards and RF tag reader/writer, or to directly interact with other NFC enabled devices.
The integration of NFC into the cellular devices is the new step towards the further development of contactless technologies, intended for use by masses. Cellular devices with built-in NFC interface provide an opportunity to implement a wide range of applications, including transport and payment related, provision of access, informative and identification related applications.
Currently LLC “Processing Technology” is implementing transport and information related NFC based applications. Development of cellular (mobile) payment applications for retail sector is among the company’s near-future plans.
