That defeats the whole purpose. We have Bluetooth for that.
- Respectfully, did you read the article? They’re talking about NFC increasing the range from ~5mm to 30mm. It’s not about competing with Bluetooth use cases, it’s about an improvement in the user experience with contactless payments and door access, etc.
- It's an increase to 30mm...
- Going from 5mm to 30mm range doesn't really overlap with Bluetooth use cases.
