The NFC (Near Field Communications) technology, although not yet fully exploited and used, is present and is expanding more and more on next-generation devices.
The current chips that are used for this wireless transmission technology for short-range, they require more energy and thus the battery life will be shortened a lot.
The Qualcomm Atheros , a subsidiary of Qualcomm , has intervened with the announcement of a new NFC chip, code-named QCA1990 , smaller size and requires much less energy, all for the benefit of battery life on devices that will implemented.
