That defeats the whole purpose. We have Bluetooth for that.

Respectfully, did you read the article? They’re talking about NFC increasing the range from ~5mm to 30mm. It’s not about competing with Bluetooth use cases, it’s about an improvement in the user experience with contactless payments and door access, etc.

It's an increase to 30mm...

Wouldn’t you have to pair Bluetooth first for it to work?
