Webinar Live Recording with IB Lenhardt

In this live webinar recording, COMPRION and IB-Lenhardt provide practical guidance on how to efficiently prepare, pre-test, and certify your Digital Key products for NFC15 — reducing risk, iterations, and time-to-market.

Preparing your devices for reliable automotive access and fast certification Digital car access is becoming standard across the automotive industry. As smartphone-based Digital Keys scale globally, NFC reliability directly impacts user experience, security, and brand perception.

With NFC Forum Release 15, the operating volume increases from 5 mm to 20 mm, enabling significantly more robust communication between vehicle and smartphone. This is critical in real-world conditions where antenna positions, mechanical constraints, and user behavior prevent precise alignment.

At the same time, certification requirements are tightening. The Car Connectivity Consortium defines interoperable Digital Key implementations, while NFC Forum compliance ensures reliable low-level communication.

COMPRION has recently achieved official CR15 validation of its NFC Forum Test Solution, making it one of the first validated providers worldwide. Accredited certification testing is available at leading laboratories such as IB-Lenhardt AG and other qualified test centers.
