NFC Forum Signs IoT Liaison Agreement; Expands Automotive Partnership | Global Banking & Finance Review
The NFC Forum, the global standards and advocacy association for Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, announced today the signing of a liaison agreement with AIM along with the expansion of an existing relationship with the Japan Automotive Software Platform and Architecture (JasPar) organization.
The AIM liaison agreement focuses on the IoT market, furthering an NFC Forum objective to partner with complimentary technologies to use NFC to help connect, commission and control the predicted 36 billion IoT devices in use by 2020. The JasPar relationship was enhanced to allow the two groups to work more closely together to expand the use of NFC in the automotive market. JasPar recently started a Digital Car Key group within the organization as a target application for NFC.
