närförorternas

Närförorternas, also known as the Near-Field Communication (NFC) Forum, is an industry association that promotes the use of NFC technology. NFC is a set of standards for smartphones and similar devices to establish radio communication with each other by touching them together or bringing them into close proximity, usually no more than a few centimeters. The forum was founded in 2004 and is headquartered in London, United Kingdom. Its members include major technology companies such as Apple, Google, Samsung, and Sony, as well as other organizations involved in the development and implementation of NFC technology. The forum's primary goal is to ensure the interoperability of NFC-enabled devices and services, thereby facilitating the widespread adoption of NFC technology. This includes developing and maintaining standards, conducting interoperability testing, and providing educational resources to its members and the public. The forum also organizes events and conferences to discuss the latest developments and trends in NFC technology. Despite its name, the forum's activities are not limited to the near field; it also covers other wireless communication technologies and standards.
