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.
Get in touch with us to discuss your application and see if we can help
Practical Applications
There are many different ways that NFC extenders are used to meet specific practical needs.
One common need is to mount an NFC device in a secure stand or casing but allow users to tap remotely

This multi-layer board is available as a component that provides excellent coupling efficiency and is the ideal starting point for building your own remote NFC touchpoints
PCB Antenna
An NFC circuit ready for you to build into your own hardware configuration
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.

We can extend this unit to add an additional touchpoint so that a single device can be linked to two separate remote touch points.
Dimensions: 115mm x 140mm (each touchpoint)
Pre-assembed Extender
A general-purpose pair of linked NFC antennae that can be used to preovde remote "tap-points" for a wide range of NFC enabled smartphones and tablets.
Enlarge the active area on a tablet or smart phones
In a retail application, this self-adhesive unit has significantly improved tap success rates by expanding the active NFC area of a Nexus 7 tablet.
