Comprion employee Andras Talas, who is also the responsible editor of the GlobalPlatform OMAPI Test Specification, was honored with the GlobalPlatform Star Award in the category “Going the extra mile.” Thanks to his efforts, this specification was ready in time to be referenced by the GSMA in the TS. 27 NFC Handset Testbook. Thus, it is integrated in the NFC Device Certification according to GCF and PTCRB.
The award was presented on November 14 during a ceremony of the GlobalPlatform All Member Meeting Session in Lisbon. Kevin Gillick, GlobalPatform Executive Director, stated: “Mr. Talas provided an outstanding effort as editor and contributor to adapt the OMAPI Test Specification with the latest OMAPI core specification. Since Google endorsed the OMAPI specifications in the latest Android release, this alignment has been critical. Mr. Talas managed the comment resolutions very efficiently to avoid losing time between the different review stages. His outstanding work should allow GSMA to reference the OMAPI Test Specification in the coming TS.27 release and as well as alignment between the development and the test of the OMAPI technology by the end of the year.”

According to the organization, the GlobalPlatform Star Awards were launched in 2004 to recognize and award individuals who have demonstrated exemplary membership participation throughout the year.
