Smartphones are poised to replace our wallets, keys and passports

We still use some of the most ancient technologies in our daily lives, to name a few simple examples: our keychain, cash, credit cards and passports; some of these technologies were invented 125 years ago (such as recharge card technology). ), and some can be traced back to 6,000 years ago (such as the key). But these ancient methods of payment and identification are about to undergo a historic shift because these methods are being combined and integrated into a single device, which is our smartphone. This is the news that Dana McCarty, senior vice president of global marketing for LitePoint, brought to us today, and his LitePoint company is the world's leading provider of wireless test technology.

Mr. McCarty said that our smartphones have integrated functions of cameras, GPS devices and other devices in the past, and today it is about to become the method we use in payment, identification and property use, and near field communication technology, The abbreviation "NFC" is the birthing technology that makes this transformation possible. Mr. McCarty said: "Some of the features we are discussing have already begun to be used in the market, such as mobile payments via NFC-enabled smartphones, but the popularity of NFC mobile payments and a range of other applications is still just getting started. stage."

He added: "NFC has an inherent advantage over other wireless technologies because it works only within a few centimeters and is therefore safer. After integration into smartphones, it has increased. Passwords and biometric fingerprint scanning technology, so security is improved, and it is almost impossible for the thief to succeed."

Gary Wang, vice president and general manager of LitePoint, pointed out that the successful promotion of NFC relies on consumers' confidence in their normal operation in every application. At present, the NFC function of the smartphone is only a simple "pass/fail" judgment test in the production stage, and has not been thoroughly tested. He reminded equipment manufacturers that this would cause smartphones with critical NFC performance to flow into the market... thus risking damage to brand reputation and sales. Mr. Gary said: "If someone finds that he has a long queue behind him when he pays for the goods he buys, and his mobile phone's NFC function does not work, making him unable to complete the transaction, then this person will Blaming on his smartphone, and most likely making it public through social media. Device manufacturers can't take the risk of damaging their brand. That's why we launched the LitePoint IQnfc tester today. Designed for all NFC standards, this test set provides the most comprehensive test solution. This tester not only tests all NFC standards, but also tests as fast as the traditional “pass/fail” method. ... in many cases it will even be faster..."

LitePoint's IQnfc tester is available now with test systems, cables and universal test stands, so users only need to perform a simple plug-in operation when testing a device. Mr. Gary concluded: "We believe that wireless technology promises us not only to copy the functions of other items we use every day, such as credit cards and keys, but also to improve and improve them in terms of functionality and security. It is also time for consumers to benefit and equipment manufacturers to benefit."
