Genaker starts development of new NFC-based services

NFC (Near Field Communications) is a short range wireless technology that usually involves two actors: the Radio Field initiator (e.g. mobile device) and the target (any unpowered element containing a passive circuit, from a sticker to a poster or a card). The communication starts when initiator gets about 6-8 cm close to target. Then, the programmed action is triggered. NFC is also available between two initiators resulting in a more complete interaction.


Genaker, through its R&D unit, is working on how NFC can optimize our current products and and future developments, providing more complete solutions to the market. Android stands up as an excellent platform for this development due to its flexibility, increasing market share and powerful devices (also with ruggedized ones). Two good examples are the first NFC capable Android devices: the Samsung Nexus S and the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S2.

Genaker aims to deliver secure and value added solutions for professional and residential users, with particular focus in areas such as Health & Wellbeing and Industrial applications respectively, providing a seamless integration with day-to-day situations and productivity tools. Withdraw money from ATMs, shop payments, transport tickets, instant information, automated actions, identification systems or smart locks are just a few samples on how today NFC capable devices bring together several applications and objects tomake daily tasks easier, minimize forgetting and decrease costs by the leverage of the almost all-in-one devices.
