 Hello everyone and thanks for joining. My name is Keith Walters and today we are going to discuss TENAP. What is it and what are the benefits to low cost IOT applications? So what exactly is TAG and DEF exchange protocol? NFC can be used to perform a connection handover for Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, otherwise known as tap and pair. Doing so securely requires a negotiated handover. Previously negotiated handovers were done using an NFC peer-to-peer connection, which is accomplished using LLCP or logical link control protocol. LLCP is complex, requires many steps, and is processor or power intensive. TENAP is based on the simple procedure of reading and writing NDEF or NFC data exchange format records to NFC tags using applications. These apps establish a bi-directional NFC communications link to IOT devices without the need to implement LLCP. With the introduction of TENAP, the NFC form connection handover specification was updated to support this new simplified method for initiating out-of-band pairing requests. This update included a new messaging structure for how negotiated handover requests would be managed, as well as for a new Bluetooth or Wi-Fi communication scenarios. Additionally, the Connection 1.5 update also gives IOT manufacturers more control over how much data they have to share. With TENAP, a standard cell phone can serve as a connection handover mediator, while low-cost NFC tags are used to store IOT device radio properties. With TENAP, connectivity is as easy as a tap. Thank you for joining us today and enjoy the rest of the show.
