NFC Forum

The NFC Forum is an industry group that sets standards for Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, ensuring devices like smartphones, payment terminals, and access cards can communicate smoothly and securely. Think of it as a language that different NFC-enabled devices understand, enabling quick interactions such as contactless payments, sharing information, or pairing gadgets with just a tap. The forum's guidelines help manufacturers create compatible products, making NFC technology reliable and widely usable across various applications while maintaining security and ease of use.
