Abstract:
An apparatus, system and methodology for establishing a wireless communications link using a wireless device are provided. A computing device includes a wallet application for completing transactions based on wireless data communications between the computing device and at least one external electronic device. The computing device includes a short-range radio frequency (RF) transceiver to communicate with an external RF transceiver. A near-field communication (NFC) module includes a NFC antenna, and the NFC module is configured to transmit wireless setup information between the NFC antenna and a NFC reader in communication with the external electronic device based on the NFC antenna of the computing device being within a RF range of the NFC antenna of the NFC reader. A processor establishes a wireless communications link between the short-range RF transceiver and the external RF transceiver to initiate transactions between the computing device and the at least one external electronic device.
