NFC communication for the Arduino or other processors. The BM019 Serial to NFC converter module carries an ST Micro CR95HF NFC interface chip. The module allows you to communicate with Near Field Communication enabled smart cards and EEPROM via 8N1 serial or SPI interfaces. The module carries a tuned PCB antenna for coupling to NFC enabled devices. Module documentation and application info are available to get you started right away. This is open source hardware, all design files are available.

If you're looking for an Arduino-compatible NFC module that reads ISO 15693 then this one is great. Unlike some others I looked at Solutions Cubed have already developed code examples so you can get going quickly.
I wish that the antenna was bigger, and for my needs I would prefer an Arduino shield. Nonetheless, it works well.
I also liked dealing with Solutions Cubed. I needed a bunch of these BM019s and the company quickly turned them around, and kept me up to date. I was very happy with the service. I also can't help but appreciate the photo of their offices/manufacturing facility...made me want to buy.
