Together with GSMA, the three aim to ease access to NFC technology to sectors such as public administrations, transport operators, system integrators, reader and card manufacturers, advertising companies and gaming businesses.

According to NXP, its m-Knowledge Centre is a global competence team of technical experts offering advanced technical training services, application and design support, project management and technological consulting in all areas related to contactless and NFC application for any company wanting to leverage the mobile revolution. Launched by the GSMA, the Mobile World Capital Barcelona and now also NXP are at the core of an emerging contactless payment cluster, working to improve the cooperation between companies, as well as to enhance awareness of new mobile technologies.
