Philips, SK Telecom to conduct RFID test in Seoul
Philips and South Korean Telecom are coming together to conduct a RFID test in Seoul. They will use Near Field Communication technology which will allow the four hundred participants to use their mobile phones to download music, unlock doors, pay for goods and services.
The half of the participants will use phones carrying Philips' NFC RFID chip and other will use phones retrofitted with plug and play. The NFC-supported phones fitted with Philips RFID chips compliant with the ISO 14443A standard for contact less cards can be read at a range of less than 10cm or 4 inches.
These phones will serve as RFID readers to read tags, download data and ensure communication with other phones and devices. The trial is scheduled to begin from next month.
