Near Field Communication ( is a short-range wireless standard for communication over distances up to around 10cm that will enable enhanced services for users of NFC-enabled smart phones. These could include receiving coupons from retailers upon entering a store, or sharing contacts or photos, in addition to making mobile payments and collecting data from medical monitors, smart meters or other equipment containing ST’s dual-interface EEPROM. We produce a wireless memory that can transmit and receive information from the heart of an application to a smart phone containing NFC technology. NFC is expected to become a widely used system for making payments by smart phone in the United States and it is estimated that by 2015, 30.5% (iSupply) of all handsets shipped will contain NFC technology.)
