The NFC Forum aims to advance near field communication (NFC) technology by promoting interoperability among mobile devices and public transport systems. Key achievements include the establishment of harmonized specifications and synchronized testing processes, which enhance the customer experience by ensuring NFC devices work reliably with various public transport systems. Future initiatives focus on preparing for the deployment of NFC solutions and ensuring alignment with ongoing developments in the field.
OPTIMOS Interoperability Event - Introduction to the Interoperability Initiative
- 1. Laurent SOURGEN, Officer and Board Member, NFC Forum OPTIMOS Interoperability Event, Berlin, 2016 INTRODUCTION TO THE INTEROPERABILITY INITIATIVE
- 2. THE NFC FORUM REPRESENTS Advancing Near Field Communication Technology2 All of the world’s major: ● chip vendors ● payment service providers ● smart phone manufacturers ● mobile operating system providers
- 3. NFC FORUM MISSION Advancing Near Field Communication Technology3 The NFC Forum brings the convenience of NFC technology to life. We empower organizations to deliver secure, tap-based interactions with an intuitive, reliable experience to users around the globe. Or in technical terms: The NFC Forum stands for the open and interoperable implementation of NFC technology
- 4. NFC FORUM AND CONTACTLESS STANDARDS Advancing Near Field Communication Technology4 The NFC Forum took the lead in the harmonization of globally relevant contactless standards for NFC mobile devices: Gap analysis finalized Solutions identified and verified Specification for “Interoperable NFC” for Mobile Devices released and published
- 5. PUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEMS AND INTEROPERABILITY (1) Why are there so many different Public Transport systems implementations in place? • Requirements to Public Transport systems vary from country to country or even city to city • Applications and system implementations have to follow Services and business cases are typically optimized for local, frequent users and local rules (2) Interoperability is key to a positive customer experience • NFC mobile devices will work with Public Transport readers based on current specifications • Just a few percent of interoperability issues can mean thousands of disappointed customers every day Certified interoperability is mandatory for deployment and key to business success for service providers (3) How to establish interoperability between Mobile sector and Public Transport sector? • Synchronize RF-interface specifications for NFC mobile devices and Public Transport devices • Establish synchronized test and certification processes for NFC mobile devices and Public Transport devices
- 6. MOBILE AND PUBLIC TRANSPORT STANDARDIZATION Advancing Near Field Communication Technology6 Mobile sector NFC Device as fare media or reader Interoperability with ISO/IEC14443 / CEN TS16794 ISO/IEC 18092 EMVCo L1 (CEM only) Testing according to NFC Forum specifications Certification by GCF / NFC Forum Global Public Transport sector NFC Forum specifies implementation and test of RF-interface ISO/IEC14443- based PT systems ISO/IEC18092- based PT systems CEN TS16794 Certification by Smart Ticketing Alliance Implementation and test specifications available. Testing by accredited labs EMVCo based PT systems EMVCo Level 1 Testing by EMVCo accredited labs ISO/IEC14443 based PT systems ISO/IEC18092 based PT systems
- 7. FRAMEWORK FOR INTEROPERABILITY ● Interoperability requires continuous cooperation between relevant standardization bodies as specifications evolve. The NFC Forum established relations to the relevant bodies: ● Achievements: GSMA, CEN and Public Transport stakeholders joint working group with NFC Forum completed technical work on interoperability with ISO/IEC14443 NFC Forum’s interoperability solution proposals accepted
- 8. THE PLAN Advancing Near Field Communication Technology8 Update specifications and test specifications OPTIMOS Phase 1 Jan 2016 Jan 2016 Activate test cases Apr 2017 Update specs Apr 2016 Sept 2016 Create CEN TS16794 Edition 2 Internal review Final ballot, release & publishing Prepare test & certification of PT devices Certification of PT devices Certification of NFC devices Harmonization VLOAD M3 Dec 2017 OPTIMOS Phase 2 “Evaluation of Customer value” Demo 2 OPTIMOS Phase 1 “Interop NFC” Demo 1 Planned market entry of certified products
- 9. WHAT’S NEXT Advancing Near Field Communication Technology9 ● Test and Certification ● RF interoperability with mobile Public Transport services is a reality; prepare now for: Public Transport Operators: NFC field deployment plans Mobile Network Operators and Public Transport Operators: joint service offerings and field implementations Handset Manufacturers: Implement the latest NFC Forum specifications and conduct certification Interoperability guaranteed by NFC certification
- 10. CONCLUSION Advancing Near Field Communication Technology10 ● NFC Forum-driven work on interoperability has allowed: Harmonized specifications for NFC-interface of mobile devices and ISO-conformant Public Transport equipment Alignment with EMVCo established Synchronized test and certification for NFC mobile devices and Public Transport equipment by respective bodies ● Leading to the following benefits: No Public Transport infrastructure changes required Regional testing or adaptation of mobile handsets is no longer necessary Co-existence between NFC Forum and EMVCo specifications and certifications for NFC mobile devices provided All certified NFC-enabled mobile devices will work with Public Transport systems Future-proofed NFC interoperability due to continuous alignments with partners For latest developments: www.nfc-forum.org
