Wednesday 6 March 2013 09:54 CET | News

The NFC Forum, a non-profit industry association that aims to advance the use of Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, has unveiled that Google has upgraded its NFC Forum membership from Principal to Sponsor level.

As the top tier of NFC Forum membership, the Sponsor level entitles each organisation to a seat on the NFC Forum Board of Directors, the consortium’s governing body. Sponsor members, like Principal members, may designate individuals to run for Forum leadership positions, and may appoint one voting representative to each of the NFC Forum Committees and Working Groups. Other privileges include proposing Forum initiatives and participating in the NFC Forum testing and certification program using their own in-house test labs.

In recent news, the NFC Forum has created five Special Interest Groups (SIGs) that will bring together leaders from the areas of Consumer Electronics, Health Care, Payment, Retail and Transport to collaborate on NFC solution implementation, interoperability, best practices and future requirements.
