NFC Forum chooses Broadcom's NFC solutions to validate certification test bed

CHICAGO, USA: Broadcom Corp. announced a partnership with the NFC Forum to help develop a new NFC certification test suite based on Broadcom technology. NFC Forum's official certified test tools will leverage Broadcom's recently introduced BCM2079x NFC family of products as the benchmark for validation.

The NFC Forum Certification Program provides device manufacturers with a means of establishing that their products conform to the NFC Forum's published specifications. The NFC Forum test tools will be used to ensure compliance and interoperability of future NFC products and solutions. In addition, companies can place the NFC Forum N-Mark on the device indicating the touch point to trigger NFC services, can be included in the NFC Forum's certified product register, and gain global credibility.

To further educate the mobile ecosystem on the importance of standards and the NFC Forum certification process, Mohamed Awad, member of the NFC Forum board of directors and associate product line director for NFC products at Broadcom, will participate in a session, NFC Forum Certification: The Key to Interoperable Innovation, at the NFC Summit at 4G World 2011. His session will address common questions including what certification is, what it entails, why it matters and the benefits of being certified.
