New NFC tags enable simple Wi-Fi and Bluetooth pairing
The NTAG21xF portfolio of Near Field Communication (NFC) tags are specifically designed for use in consumer electronics and mobile accessories such as headsets, sound bars and digital cameras; and wearable infotainment such as smart watches.
The tags have an integrated field detection mode which switches on the accessory when in close contact with an NFC phone or mobile device, quickly enabling a simple ‘tap to pair’ connection. With a large memory, from 144 (NTAG213F) up to 888 bytes (NTAG216F), the NTAG21xF products are able to easily cover both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi pairing.
The tags can be used in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi enabled consumer electronics accessories such as headsets, speakers, mice, keyboards, streaming receivers or smart appliances, smart meters, medical devices and printers.
The NTAG21xF series devices are NFC Forum Tag 2 Type compliant and work with any NFC-enabled phone and can be set to a non responsive mode therefore avoiding a bad user experience when the battery is running low.
