Hi,

That would be nice but unfortunately that is not feasible. An NFC Tag can not talk to another NFC Tag because none is generating an RF Field. It is mandatory to have an NFC Reader.

A side comment: An NFC Reader can be set in Card Emulation Mode so it can emulate a tag. By this way, an NFC Reader can communicate with another NFC Reader. One being set in Card Emulation mode.

A mobile phone is an NFC Reader and it can be set into card emulation mode.

Olivier
