The way in which we wirelessly transmit and receive data on the phones has changed over the years. We’ve gone from transferring data between devices using infrared in the earlier bit of the last decade to Bluetooth, which is still quite popular, but now, things have quickly gone on to Wi-Fi.

A few companies are quite excited about it and you might think that it’s the next big thing in wireless data transmission, offering much higher speeds at much larger distances. But, things aren’t what they seem - NFC is not just another upgraded data transfer standard. Let’s dwell into this upcoming technology and see what it is, how it works and how it might be the future.
