COMPRION expands its scope of Approved Test Tools within NFC Forum

Paderborn, Germany – September 2014

The NFC Forum has confirmed COMPRION’s proven UT³ Platform as an Approved Test Tool for LLCP and SNEP certifica-tion testing. Just after delta validation for the NFC Forum’s Digital Protocol was achieved, another protocol layer has now been validated for LLCP and SNEP, so that the universal con-formance solution by the high-quality provider from Germany is up to date for certification testing of both.

LLCP (Logical Link Control Protocol) and SNEP (Simple NDEF Ex-change Protocol) are applicable to the peer-to-peer mode of Near Field Communication. In contrast to the unilaterally driven com-munication of reader/writer mode, here data of any kind may be exchanged dynamically in both directions. For example, the sim-ple and fast transmission of Wi-Fi parameters over NFC takes place this way. In this process, the protocol layer creates a bidi-rectional communication channel between equal communication participants.

„NFC services are becoming more and more diverse and efficient, and two-way communication is the cornerstone of extended func-tionality,“ states Paula Hunter, Executive Director of the NFC Fo-rum. „In order for vendors to offer attractive, smoothly running NFC services now and in the future, it is essential to quickly un-cover error sources within all protocol layers prior to product de-ployment. Here, COMPRION’s UT³ Platform makes an important contribution.“
