About Near Field Communication (NFC)
NFC technology provides the ability for short-range, wireless data
transfer
between the CT50 -Ex and NFC tags or other NFC enabled
devices placed in close proximity to the back of the computer. NFC
equipped CT50 -Ex models support the following modes of operation:
• NFC tag reader/writer mode: The computer reads or writes digital
information from or to an NFC tag.
• Peer-to-Peer (P2P) mode: The computer uses Android Beam or
Bluetooth technology to transfer screen content (such as a picture,
contact information, Web page url, or file) between NFC enabled
devices.
Note: Slee
p Mode (Suspend Mode) and the screen lock temporarily
turns the NFC radio off.
