Near-Field Electric Connectivity

Near-field electric connectivity uses electric field communication to create secure, short-range data links operating within 5-25cm distances. Unlike traditional wireless protocols, this technology uses capacitive coupling through electric fields rather than electromagnetic radiation, providing inherent security through physical proximity requirements.

The technology enables touch-to-pair functionality where devices exchange data when physically touched or brought into close proximity. Applications include secure device pairing, access control systems, payment terminals, and authentication where physical contact or close proximity is required. The short range and electric field nature make signals extremely difficult to intercept, providing privacy-by-physics security. This is particularly valuable for sensitive applications like medical device communication, secure key exchange, and contactless authentication systems.
