The company hopes to accelerate the commercial availability of mobile NFC by engaging with providers.
It's now working with partners to develop reference designs based on its Mobile Station Modem (MSM) chipsets. NFC is a short-range wireless connectivity technology operating at 13.56 MHz and transferring data at up to 424 Kbps. It is well suited for payment, mass transit, ticketing and other similar applications requiring a quick and secure contactless exchange of data.“NFC technology holds great potential for changing the way mobile devices are used,” said Mike Concannon, senior vice president of product management for Qualcomm CDMA Technologies. “As part of our ongoing commitment to deliver leading-edge technologies and value to our customers, we are now engaged with leaders in NFC technology to offer reference designs that have this next-generation functionality.”
