21/11 Sylt mobile with NFC and RFID
| Category: NFC, RFID By editor at 08:58 |
There is a Sylt mobile project with RFID and NFC. It works like this:
Gäste des Dorint Sofitel Soel´ring Hof Sylt und des Strandhotel Sylt können während der Zeit ihres Aufenthalts sich das Nokia 3220 Handy mit NFC-Shell kostenlos ausleihen. Ebenfalls wird das Nokia 3220 mit NFC Shell bereits in einigen Vodafone Shops vertrieben. Mit herkömmlichen WAP-fähigen Handys kann das Sylt mobil Portal über wap.sylt.regiocms.de ebenfalls aufgerufen werden.Translation: Guests of the Dorint Sofitel Soel'ring Hof Sylt and of the beach hotel Sylt can rent for free a Nokia 3220 with a NFC-Shell. Everytime you see the above logo you can then get contextual information. With current mobile phones one can access the mobile portal at wap.sylt.regiocms.de.
How much easier could this be one with mobile tags - ok I am biased;). But just think, with NFC you only have one phone today and if you would want to print RFID chips on flyers and in magazines it becomes complicated. With mobile tags it's as easy: create and print. Here is the one that gets you to the main address (URL-encoded QR Code):

Yes, although I think RFID tags are neat and everything, for informational purposes I think a qr code linking to a wap site is superior. I think qr codes are better because you can see them, I don't know if i'm ready for chips in everything to scan them. At least bar codes are not decieving. The only upside to some rfid tags is they can be reprogrammed to hold different information, that could come in handy. You can't do that with qr's, you have to reprint another one. The good thing about qr codes is anyone with access to a computer and printer can make their own, it's not as easy with rfid tags right now.
