NFC offers a low-speed connection with extremely simple setup, and can be used to bootstrap more capable wireless connections.[17]
For example, the Android Beam software uses NFC to complete the steps of enabling, pairing and establishing a Bluetooth connection when doing a file transfer.[18] Nokia, Samsung, BlackBerry and Sony[19] have used NFC technology to pair Bluetooth headsets, media players, and speakers with one tap in its NFC-enabled devices.[citation needed] The same principle can be applied to the configuration of Wi-Fi networks.
