The range of NFC is planned to be increased by 6 times to increase contactless payments. This was reported by the organization NFC Forum, which represents NFC. The NFC Forum includes Apple, Google, Huawei, Qualcomm, Nokia and Sony.
Currently, NFC works at a distance of up to 5 mm. The creators of the technology are expanding the range of action within 4-6 years within 2-5 years.
These are fairly simple contactless payments, eliminating the need for smartphone users to touch the terminal.
Users do not have to look for an NFC antenna on the terminal, which in turn significantly increases the speed of payments.
In addition, the NFC Forum wants to increase the power of wireless charging via NFC from 1W to 3W. Thanks to this, it is possible to purchase accessories via NFC. [Android Authority]
