What Is NFC ?

Mobile and NFCMobile and NFCNear Field Communication (NFC) is a

short-range wireless connectivity technology

Metro is arriving in MUMBAIMetro is arriving in MUMBAI

The primary uses of NFC are to:

Connect electronic devices, such as wireless components in a home office system or a headset with a mobile phone

Access digital content, using a wireless device such as a cell phone to read a “smart” poster embedded with an RF tag

Make contact less transactions, including those for payment, access and

TICKETING.

WHY To stand In The Long WHY To stand In The Long Queues??Queues??

When your ticket is just a click When your ticket is just a click away!!!away!!!

Need For Virtual ticketing

One click but ...................... why to have One click but ...................... why to have intenet conncetivity all timeintenet conncetivity all time

So our system with one click & no Internet So our system with one click & no Internet connectivityconnectivity
