SUMMARY:Brunch Bytes: Get Ahead With Mobile Contactless Technology
DESCRIPTION:The first Daresbury briefing in our new series of "Brunch Bytes". #bbytes\n\nRFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is being widely used across various industries and, along with NFC (Near Field Communication), will certainly feature in future technological developments. Current uses include transportation payments, product tracking, animal identification and passports. A further potential use of this technology is to replace barcodes at store checkouts; deducting payment automatically for the items being purchased without the need for cashiers or scanning (this would also make stealing extremely challenging!).\n\nThis briefing involves industry expert and leading InfoLab21 academic Reuben Edwards discussing the latest trends in mobile RFID and NFC. Be prepared to get your hands dirty! Bring a laptop and learn how to develop innovative applications.\n\nWhy attend and what will you get out of it?\n\nLearn how to develop applications with this technologyUncover ways to exploit NFC capabilities within your businessBecome aware of future uses of this technology and plan aheadDiscover how this technology is being used in devices made by Nokia, Sagem, Samsung and GoogleNFC is rumoured to be included in the new iPhone5 and is likely to be the 'new technology on the block' in the mobile industry-watch this space!\n\nNB.
