Smartrac, a developer, manufacturer, and supplier of RFID transponders, has announced that it is ready to supply a complete collection of near field communication (NFC) enabled transponders.
 
The Smartrac NFC product offering includes inlays for labels, tickets, and cards as well as complete tags. The products are suitable for kiosk applications.
 
“We have been looking into the potential of NFC for a while. Now that adoption of NFC is creating substantial demand, we are ready to support our customers with a complete NFC transponder range,” said Dr. Christian Fischer, CEO of Smartrac.
 
The company believes it is well prepared to support its global customer base in tapping the potential of NFC technology, because of the experience it has gained from manufacturing and supplying more than one billion RFID transponders in all current frequency standards (LF; HF; UHF), in various shapes and sizes for a very broad array of application fields.
 
Near field communication (NFC) products enable simple and convenient transactions in application fields such as access control, NFC-enabled mobile devices, public transport, and contactless payment. As a supplier of smart card inlays, tags, and transponders, the company states that it has an in-depth knowledge of these application fields.
 
Dr. Fischer concluded, “NFC is another step in the evolution from contact-based applications to smart and user-friendly solutions. We are pleased to be part of this development. We are, however, also convinced that full adoption requires sustainable business models, and more consumer confidence and better knowledge of the technology.”
