RFID NFC: Revolutionary New RFID/NFC Enabler Could Make Millions Of Current Phones Fully NFC Capable

NFC (Near Field Communications) has been a buzz word for many years and has hit a climax at the recent CTIA conference. There are literally 1000's of applications for this technology, but NFC Capable Phones have not been widely available to make it a reality. Over the past year, Narian and Tracient have worked to solve the problems of form factor and integration that have plagued other companies. Capitalizing on Patented and Patent Pending NFC Technologies both companies announced today that Narian will be bringing a range of applications to market on hardware designed by Tracient. Both companies believe this will be the tool to enable the NFC Revolution to begin.

Einar Rosenberg, CTO Narian Technologies, "NFC has the potential value to consumers Equal to the Internet, and we can prove it".

"The unit is designed to NFC Enable phones today, and a variety of other appliances as well" says Grant Pugh CEO of Tracient, "This also makes it very attractive in mobile workforce applications for small to medium enterprises."

The hardware will be produced in packaged and module forms, one of which measures a mere 25mm x 25mm (1" x 1"). The unit can be placed ergonomically to 100's of millions of current phones today and make them fully NFC Capable. With a device slightly larger than a Postage Stamp, consumers can now be offered the full capabilities of NFC such as Virtual Card, Machine to Machine Communication, RFID Read/Write, and much more. Tracient has over a decade of Experience developing RFID/NFC Hardware for mobile enterprise and field force automation applications, and Narian has been in the Business of NFC for nearly 5 years with over 200 Defined NFC Applications in 15 Unique Markets and is considered an Innovator in the NFC Ecosystem. Both companies see the day in which every phone and handheld computer will have embedded NFC standard, but to drive issues such as current lack of phones and even replacement rates when phones are available, Tracient and Narian introduce the Sliver. In volume orders the price point is dramatically affordable at around $36 per unit.
