The tags have an integrated field detection mode which switches on the accessory when it comes into contact with an NFC phone or mobile device, quickly enabling a simple 'tap to pair' connection.
"With field detection to wake up the accessory, pairing is now intuitive and much easier," said NXP in a statement. "Users simply tap their phone to the accessory and pairing is complete."
The devices have a large memory, are NFC Forum Tag 2 Type compliant and work with any NFC enabled phone.
