NFC Forum Signs Liaison with German Automotive ConsortiumThe NFC Forum announced today the signing of a liaison agreement with the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) and the addition of nine new members to the world's leading standards and advocacy association for Near Field Communication (NFC) technology. The liaison agreement states that the NFC Forum (News - Alert) and VDA will work together to co-develop NFC use cases and requirements toward the goal of enabling NFC interfaces and technology integration to support the creation of exciting, new consumer products and services for vehicles worldwide. Relevant applications include Bluetooth and Wi-Fi pairing, flexible and secure car access and the enabling of smart mobility solutions. VDA promotes the standardization of interfaces between mobile devices and automotive electronic control units ensuring long-term interoperability between NFC-enabled smart cars and smart devices. "We are in the midst of an economic transformation worldwide that will ultimately prove to be a great benefit for consumers. It is estimated that 80% of the world's economic value will come from connectivity improvements to existing public transport, automobiles, devices and the Internet of Things," said Paula Hunter, executive director, NFC Forum. "VDA and the NFC Forum plan to work together to develop the standards and specifications to help power this transformation with NFC technology as a key enabler."
NFC Forum Adds Nine New Members to Global Technology (News - Alert) Organization As a member at the Implementer and Startup Implementer levels, members can join one of the NFC Forum's Special Interest Group (SIG) Committees. These SIG Committees work alongside other NFC Forum Committees and Working Groups to empower organizations to deliver secure, tap-based interactions with an intuitive, reliable experience to users around the globe. Any organization using NFC or interested in learning more about NFC technology to improve their product, service or customer experience is encouraged to apply for NFC Forum membership. In addition to ongoing work via conference calls and online meetings, the NFC Forum holds face-to-face, member meetings three times a year to advance NFC initiatives and to address specifications, market requirements and other projects under development.
