Wi-Fi Aware

Wi-Fi Aware or Neighbor Awareness Networking (NAN) is an interoperability certification program announced in January 2015 that enables device users, when in the range of a particular access point or another compatible device, to receive notifications of applications or services available in the proximity. Later versions of this standard included new features such as the capability to establish a peer-to-peer data connection for file transfer.
