Next-Generation People Tracking Powered by NFC

Near Field Communication (NFC) revolutionizes contactless identification through short-range wireless communication, enabling fast and seamless interactions between compatible devices without the need for complex configurations. This makes it an ideal choice for people tracking applications where efficiency, convenience, and data integrity are critical.

 

By integrating NFC into people tracking systems, organizations can benefit from secure, intuitive, and real-time identification solutions tailored for dynamic environments. Backed by a strong foundation of research-driven development and collaborative partnerships, these NFC-based systems support scalable, reliable operations across diverse sectors throughout North America.

Core Components

Hardware

  • NFC-enabled ID cards, badges, or wristbands
    These are used by individuals for identity verification, presence detection, and access logging. 
    NFC & HF RFID Readers, Tags & Accessories– Offers NFC-compatible tags and wearables suitable for secure, short-range people identification. 
  • NFC readers at doors, gates, and checkpoints 
    Stationary readers authenticate users and grant controlled access based on NFC credentials. 
    BLE Gateways, Beacons & Accessories – Includes versatile gateway units that often feature hybrid support including NFC, for fixed infrastructure. 
  • Mobile NFC-compatible devices (for BYOD scenarios)
    Handheld or smartphone-based readers used for temporary or mobile access control and validation. 
    PDA/EDA– Handheld enterprise digital assistants with NFC capabilities for mobile personnel tracking and validation. 
  • Contactless authentication terminals
    These terminals verify credentials quickly for time-logging, secure access, or attendance. 
    Biometric Devices– Terminals that integrate NFC with biometric authentication for robust identity validation at entry points.
