Innovision opens online store for NFC tags

Innovision Research & Technology has launched BuyNFC.com, an online store for NFC application developers and consumers looking to purchase NFC tags.

BuyNFC.com offers Innovision’s Topaz NFC tags in a wide range of form factors including paper, labels, plastic discs, key fobs and reels and, says the company, “is aimed primarily at those looking to develop non-payment applications of NFC and to create mass-market opportunities for the emerging short-range wireless technology as well as meeting the tag needs of consumers.”

“The opportunities are endless — payments and ticketing have been grabbing the headlines, but it’s the simple, clever and innovative applications that often capture application developers’ and consumers’ imaginations,” says Innovision’s marketing VP, Stephen Graham. “Tags have the potential to turn everything into a smart object, which will interact with commonly available mobile handsets, whether it’s a photograph, a business card or even a key fob.”

Innovision’s Topaz offerings are NFC Forum Type 1 Tags and offer 96 bytes of user programmable memory.
