Near Field Communication Forum

The NEAR Field Communication (NFC) Forum is an industry group that develops and promotes standards for near field communication technology. NFC allows devices like smartphones and payment cards to communicate wirelessly over short distances (a few centimeters). The forum ensures that devices from different manufacturers can work together smoothly, enabling secure mobile payments, data sharing, and access control. By creating universal guidelines, the NFC Forum helps expand the use of NFC-based services, making interactions more convenient, secure, and integrated across a wide range of devices and applications.
