Broadcom has introduced two new Near Field Communication (NFC) solutions –  the industry’s first quad-combo to integrate certified NFC, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and FM onto a single chip, and a single card solution combining its 5G WiFi combo chip with standalone NFC.

The expansion of NFC  is expected to inspire adoption in broader consumer electronics devices like game controllers, TVs and remotes, computer keyboards and mice, headsets, and printers, among other things. NFC will allow consumers to instantly show video taken from a smartphone on a smart TV by tapping the devices together. It will also enable consumers to seamlessly and securely tap-to-print and tap-to-share data like a music playlist or a business card.
