Networking has been an essential part of the business world for decades, where this effort towards communication and collaboration allows companies to grow in their chosen direction. This process involves socialising in a business setting, which facilitates the exchange of contact details in order to form enduring professional relationships.
Formerly, paper business cards were the accessory of choice that allowed for the easy exchange of information. These would feature the company name, logo and key contact details, allowing new clients, customers and investors to get in touch at their leisure.
Today, digital technologies have paved the way for a better approach to networking. Digital identity cards allow users to simply tap and go, where they will instantly gain access to all the contact information they need on their phone screen. Read on to find out more about the key features of these cards, with a look at the NFC technology that powers them.
Near Field Communication (NFC) technology is currently built into most smartphones, where it facilitates contactless payments as well as a range of other wireless functions. NFC technology can also be used for data transmission between a digital business card and a user’s mobile device, where this can act as a modern substitute for paper cards.
More specially, NFC technology works through the use of the inductive coupling principle, where a reader device produces a magnetic field by transmitting an electric current via a coil. Then, when a device with its own coil is brought close to the field, an electric current is induced within the device. This can be achieved without the need for direct contact. After the initial coupling, any data contained within the device can be sent to the reader wirelessly.
This principle can be used for the sharing of contact details in a simple transaction. A business will have their own digital identity card that contains NFC technology. This can be tapped by a smartphone to form a connection, where the phone user will be sent straight to the company microsite, which will feature a range of essential social media and product links.
When you choose a digital identity card from Zapmii, there are a variety of excellent features to enjoy, where these include:

Some 0f these extra benefits for your business include:
