NXP secures battery-free wireless LED control

At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January, NXP Semiconductors hosted an LED lighting demonstration with a wireless communication link between a battery-free switch and prototype lamps based on an NXP wireless-enabled microcontroller. Moreover, the demonstration relied on near-field communications (NFC) between a tablet or smartphone and the switch to create a secure link between the switch and the lamps in the demonstration.
