Insider's Insight into NFC - Near Field Communications


Over the past few years, we have seen significant changes across all the major smartphone platforms led by companies such as Apple, Google, BlackBerry and Microsoft.  Each vendor is trying to add unique values in order to differentiate themselves from the crowd.  This competition is helping smartphones evolve as a platform for software applications rather than just being a messaging platform.  Given these developments, technologies such as Near Field Communications (NFC) are getting renewed attention.

NFC has the potential to impact the way we shop, travel and transfer data. It can make our lives easier and transactions more convenient. It can make accessing new media and content services more instinctive; it can make it easier to pay for things; easier to discover, synchronize and share information; and easier to use public transportation and other public services.  NFC is creating new opportunities for MNOs (mobile network operators), device manufacturers, service provider, enterprises and consumers.

Endeavour and BlackBerry are presenting a webinar on “Insider’s Insight into NFC” where they will discuss NFC device and application capabilities.  This webinar will be presented on December 8th, 2011, at 10:30 AM CDT.  Register here!
