The maximum distance for NFC communication is typically 7-8cm. Most interactions occur within 2-3 cm for reliable data transfer.
NFC is designed for short-range communication, this enhances security by ensuring that the user needs to be in close proximity to the NFC tag or device to interact with it.
The actual range can be influenced by factors such as the power/size of the NFC chip, the environment, and the type of device being used.
