Mobile NFC RFID Modules

Last year, Wireless Dynamics Inc. (WDI) introduced their SDiD cards, which provide NFC (Near Field Communication)  RFID capabilities in an SD (Secure Digital) card form factor. These standard sized SD cards can be used in the SD memory/ module slots of various smartphones, PDAs and other mobile devices for contactless payments. ACG Identification Technologies, also a player in the NFC RFID market, has signed a deal to distribute WDI's SDiD card. WDI also offers NFC reader/ writers in mini-SD card form. Both types of SD cards operate on HF (High Frequency) protocols and are targeted to "public transport, financial transactions, and access control," amongst other uses.
