NFC Extenders Helps Extend your NFC reach

NFC Antenna Extenders

NFC is getting more and more used in today's life; However since NFC is near field communication, 

In many applications that use NFC it is not always convenient to tap against a built-in NFC antenna, especially where the antenna is on the back of a tablet or smartphone. Many consumers are annoyed by this too short reading distance, some even needs to touch, 

or hardly to find the touch point.

We provide solutions that enhance the usability of NFC in a number of different application areas.

For example, some clients have wanted to expand the active area of a commercial USB NFC unit, whilst others want to make the "tap" point more accessible.

Expand the active area of a USB reader

In an industrial application, the client needed to be able to scan a tag over a much larger area than their USB reader ACR 122U could achieve.

This unit enabled them to expand the scan area from approximately 50mm x 50mm on the ACR 122U up to 120m x 100mm with no loss of performance---This is still under the development. Please contact us for more details.
