Claim:
1. A portable information handling system comprising: a planar housing; a processor disposed in the planar housing and operable to execute instructions to process information; a memory disposed in the planar housing and interfaced with the processor, the memory operable to store the information; a display disposed in the planar housing and interfaced with the processor and memory, the display operable to present the information as visual images; a radio disposed in the planar housing and interfaced with the processor, the radio operable to transmit wireless signals at selectable signal strengths with conductive effects; a near field communication (NFC) transceiver disposed in the planar housing and interfaced with the processor, the NFC transceiver operable to transmit wireless signals; an NFC antenna disposed in the planar housing and interfaced with the NFC transceiver to support NFC wireless signal communication with inductive effects; and a proximity processor disposed in the planar housing and interfaced with the NFC antenna, the proximity detector operable to detect proximity of objects to the NFC antenna with capacitive effects, the proximity detector providing the proximity of objects to the radio for selecting signal strength.
