Near Field Communication (NFC) and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) are common wireless technologies used to exchange data between devices. NFC excels in short-range communication and employs one-to-one connection, making it ideal for quick, secure transactions such as contactless payments and access control. On the other hand, Bluetooth communicates over a broader range and connects to multiple devices simultaneously, making it suitable for devices and data that do not need stringent security measures.

By understanding the distinctive functionalities of NFC and BLE technologies, campus administrators and stakeholders can make informed decisions about deploying these wireless systems. Whether it be for contactless payment systems, or to secure and manage access to buildings and facilities, institutions can determine which technology supports measures to enhance campus connectivity, streamline operations, and improve the student/user experience.
