To use a transport card, one only has to have it close to the card reader. They don’t need a communication network. Such wireless communication using tiny computer chips and a radio frequency is called radio-frequency identification (RFID). NFC is a kind of RFID using the 13.56 MHz frequency. The most notable feature of NFC is that it enables bidirectional communication. Instead of only storing and sending the information to the reader, NFC makes it possible to read and write information on other devices. As NFC works only within a radius of 10 centimeters, private information is safe.
