Wireless connectivity has become an essential part of our lives, especially in public places like cafes, airports, and churches. However, it can be challenging to provide Wi-Fi access to guests while maintaining security and control. This is where NFC technology comes in, and it's what Jimmy from Excelsior Wireless used to invent a bespoke NFC Wi-Fi card to help churches connect guests to their guest Wi-Fi using the NXP NT3H1201W0FTTJ chip.

tl:dr NFC Card

We were working with a local church to improve their guest Wi-Fi access. The church wanted to offer free Wi-Fi to their guests but didn't want to compromise on security. They also wanted to keep the process simple and user-friendly for their guests.

During a discussion with Jon Ludwick from Calvary Chapel, it occured to us that the NFC chips could be used to quickly connect guests to their new WiFi infrastructure. we then went back to the drawing board and made a number of changes and improvements to the past iterations using NT3H1201W0FTTJ chip.

After receiving the chips and PCBs, we started working on a design for the NFC Wi-Fi card. We went through several iterations before arriving at the final design. The card was designed to be user-friendly and secure, allowing guests to connect to the guest Wi-Fi with ease.

The card uses NFC technology to communicate with the Wi-Fi access point. When a guest arrives at the church, they can simply tap their NFC Wi-Fi card on the designated reader to connect to the guest Wi-Fi network. The card can be programmed to work for a specific period, ensuring that guests only have access to the Wi-Fi during their visit.

We also incorporated a feature that allowed the church to track guest Wi-Fi usage. This helped the church to monitor network activity and ensure that the Wi-Fi was being used responsibly.

In conclusion, Excelsiors bespoke NFC Wi-Fi card using the NXP NT3H1201W0FTTJ chip was a game-changer. It allows Churches to offer free guest Wi-Fi access while maintaining control and security. Excelsior's innovative solution shows the power of NFC technology and its ability to solve real-world problems.

Excelsior Business Card.
Business cards have been around for a long time, and they are still an essential part of networking and establishing connections in the business world. However, the traditional paper business card has its limitations. It can easily get lost, damaged, or forgotten. Jimmy from Excelsior Wireless wanted to create a solution to these problems, and he did it by inventing a bespoke NFC business card using the NXP NT3H1201W0FTTJ chip after several iterations.

tl:dr NFC Biz Card

Jimmy realized that traditional business cards were not always effective in the digital age. He wanted to create a business card that would allow people to easily connect with him and access his information, even after they left the meeting.

He researched various solutions and found that NFC technology was the perfect fit for his idea. NFC technology enables wireless communication between devices within close proximity, and it's commonly used in contactless payments, access control, and data transfer.

After receiving the chips and PCBs, Jimmy went through several iterations before arriving at the final design. The NFC business card was designed to be user-friendly and secure, allowing people to connect with Jimmy with ease.

The card uses NFC technology to communicate with the recipient's smartphone. When the recipient taps their phone on the card, it automatically opens up a web page or contact information associated with Jimmy's business card. The recipient can then easily save this information on their phone or computer.

The NFC business card also had the added feature of being customizable. Jimmy could easily update the information on the card remotely, ensuring that the recipient always had the latest information.

In conclusion, Jimmy's bespoke NFC business card using the NXP NT3H1201W0FTTJ chip was a game-changer in the business world. It allowed people to easily connect with him and access his information with just a tap. Jimmy's innovative solution shows the power of NFC technology and its ability to solve real-world problems.
