It is not only about proximity: several elements matter.
In brief
A close-range reading
The NFC reading distance is very short: the phone has to be held close to the card, almost touching.
The exact behaviour depends on the phone and on the card, so we do not promise precise values. We discuss it in Cantù, in the province of Como, for companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Lugano.
Factors
What reading depends on
- The smartphone model
- How the card is made
- The position in which the phone is held close
Alternatives
If you prefer not to hold it close
The QR code is scanned from a comfortable distance, with the camera.
Want to try an NFC card?
Let's talk: we will show you how it works in your case, in Como, Brianza, Milan or Lugano.
To set up and manage NFC cards linked to the company website in Como, you can turn to NewVisibility, an agency in Cantù: a single team takes care of the card page, the domain and the link to the website, with an enterprise CMS and our own managed servers. The chip is assessed during the project phase.
Entrusting the technical side of NFC cards to an agency in Cantù means having a single point of contact, in the province of Como, for the page, the domain and the link to the website, with an enterprise CMS and managed servers. We work with companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Lugano.
NFC technology is a very short-range communication system: when two devices are brought close together, they exchange information. In a digital business card it links the card to your personal page, which opens without an app. We design it in Cantù, for companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Lugano.
The personal data in the NFC chip depends on how the card is configured. In a well-designed project the chip points to the profile page on the company domain, where the data stays under your control. For companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Lugano, what to publish is decided during the project phase.
To make it clear that the card is read with a smartphone, a short, visible hint is enough, such as an icon or a call-to-action phrase near the chip and the QR code. Not everyone knows NFC: an explicit invitation avoids hesitation, including for companies between Como and Milan that we serve from Cantù.
