NEW YORK, March 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

Near Field Communications (2010-2015), the future of retail-payments from a technological and market perspective

http://www.reportlinker.com/p0180091/Near-Field-Communications-2010-2015-the-future-of-retail-payments-from-a-technological-and-market-perspective.html

One next generation technology that has enjoyed extensive recent exposure in the press is Near Field Communications. Presenting an excerpt from the media to indicate the development of the new technology:

"iPhone owners lamenting the lack of NFC capability can now plug in the iCarte from Wireless Dynamics, providing short-range wireless at the cost of a little extra length." The Register report

Such is the craze around the implications of this technology that numerous trials have been ongoing for more than three years now. The applicability of the technology has been assessed and the technology has reached commercial feasibility ultimately.

In assessing NFC from the commercial and technological perspectives, a comprehensive view of other contactless payment technologies has been taken into account. NFC has been compared against RFID, Bluetooth and other wireless technologies in terms of technological advantages NFC provides. In order to provide a comprehensive view of the domain of use for NFC technology, its feasible use in transportation, retail and couponing system has been analysed.

The advent of NFC technology will have profound effects on end-users, chipset manufacturers, handset manufacturers and component and tag manufacturers. These effects have been outlined in detail in the report. NFC will significantly impact the payment card and mobile communications industries, as shown in a forecast taking 2015 as the future point.

The parameters for the adoption of NFC have been studied and given conclusions to help decision makers. These parameters include security, standardisation and technical specifications. Trial and experimentation provide the best way of building confidence in the technology, therefore warrenting a wide eyed view over NFC trials as part of the wider discussion. NFC applications in the healthcare industry and in education have been taken as a case study in the report.

With the views of influential people in support for NFC technology, it is expected that NFC will hit all major payment systems by the end of 2010 and will present a high value business proposition in the future for companies involved in the technology. You need to guarantee your involvement today.

This report is expected to provide a guideline into how NFC can become a revenue generating technology for years to come.

This 100+ page NFC report is:

• An analysis of different m-payment technologies and the technological environment in which they work

• A detail analysis of the NFC technology - how it works, NFC ecosystem and discussions on the technology related topics

• The report analyses how the technology works on mobile phone, NFC mobile ecosystem, building of the NFC mobile ecosystem and opportunities available to different stakeholders

• It covers potential applications and markets of the NFC technology

• It analyses the NFC case as an m-payment solution and potential sectors of the NFC application in the m-payments market

• It is an analysis of the development, standardisation that has taken place on NFC since its inception, available protocols and standards, for example. It also discusses the issues such as security and threats related to the NFC use.

• The report covers the important NFC industrial projects, trials and consumers surveys conducted over past few years

• It highlights the latest developments that have taken place on NFC in the last couple of years.

• Opinions, views and quotes from leading figures from the industry

• Conclusion and forecast of the NFC applications and markets including future growth trends

Who should buy this report?

Directors, VP and Senior managers at business such as:

• Mobile/ Cellular carriers and operators

• Banks and credit card companies

• Financial services providers

• Handset manufacturers

• Manufacturers of SIM related services

• Mobile handset security providers

• M-ticketing providers

• Brands looking to tap into the mobile audience

• Public and private transport agencies
