Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatuses for performing Near-field communication (NFC) over a network are presented. In an implementation, a computing device may send to a mobile device a cellular signal that carries information for a NFC signal communication through a communication link, such as a cable. The computing device may determine that an NFC signal propagated from the mobile device has traversed or has been received over the communication link. The computing device may indicate receipt of the NFC signal, or initiate other actions.
