## FAQ
- Q: Can the NFC tag be read through a poster behind glass?
  A: Yes. NFC signals pass through paper, cardboard, acrylic and glass with minimal attenuation. Mount the tag on the back of the poster or between the poster and the glass. For metal-backed display cases, add a ferrite shielding layer between the tag and the metal. Test the specific installation before full deployment.
- Q: How do I track how many people tap the poster?
  A: Encode the tag with a URL that passes through your analytics platform (e.g., a UTM-tagged URL, a Bitly link, or your own redirect server). Each tap that opens the URL is logged as a visit in your analytics dashboard. This provides tap counts, timestamps, geographic data and device information — far more data than a static poster.
- Q: How long do NFC smart poster tags last?
  A: The NFC chip has a data retention of 10+ years and is rated for 100,000 write cycles. The tag itself is a passive device with no battery, so there is nothing to wear out. In practice, the poster will be replaced or removed long before the NFC tag reaches end of life. For outdoor installations, use tags with UV-resistant epoxy coating.
- Q: How does the Apple Core NFC background-tag reading requirement affect iPhone tap UX?
  A: iPhone XS and later (iOS 14+) read NDEF tags in the background when the phone is unlocked and the screen is on — no Shortcuts, Wallet pass or third-party app needed. There are two hard requirements for the background read to trigger: (1) the NDEF URL record must use https:// scheme (http:// and custom schemes are silently ignored by iOS), and (2) the phone's screen must be on. Apple's Core NFC documentation also requires that the URL resolve to a publicly reachable domain — private IP or localhost URLs will not launch the browser. Older iPhones (iPhone 7, 8, X) can read tags only from within a native app that invokes NFCNDEFReaderSession, which is why we recommend designing campaigns around iPhone XS or later as the baseline. All NFC-equipped Android phones (Android 4.0+, NFC System Service) read NDEF URLs in the background without these restrictions.
- Q: How does NFC smart-poster tap attribution compare to OOH audience-measurement platforms like Geopath and Lumen?
  A: NFC tap data gives per-poster, per-individual, deterministic engagement with timestamp + device type + UTM + geographic IP — a direct conversion event that OOH audience-measurement platforms can't produce. Geopath (formerly TAB) measures opportunity-to-see (OTS) impressions using mobile-location-data panels and traffic-count modelling; Lumen Research measures attention using eye-tracking studies. Both produce modelled audience estimates at a network level — useful for media planning and pricing, but they don't identify which specific poster drove a specific action. NFC tap data complements these by providing bottom-of-funnel conversion metrics that can be regressed against Geopath OTS estimates to produce a cost-per-engaged-impression ROI figure per placement. Leading OOH holding companies (JCDecaux, Clear Channel Outdoor, Lamar) now offer NFC-enabled panels as a premium SKU precisely because the measurement asymmetry (quantified engagement vs modelled impressions) justifies the upcharge.
