- NFC technology is getting a range boost, now operating at 2cm, up from 0.5cm, to improve reliability.
- NFC Release 15's key upgrade is extended range, making connections quicker and more reliable.
- The update benefits tap-to-pay solutions and multi-purpose tap use cases, requiring less precise alignment.
- Some NFC devices already work beyond 2cm, but the standard ensures compatibility on both sides.
- NFC Release 15 compliance certification for devices begins Fall 2025.
