Near Field Communications

Near field communication (NFC) mobile-payment technology lets consumers purchase goods and services using proximity or contactless transactions. By simply waving a smartphone or any other NFC-enabled device at a point-of-sale (POS) terminal, consumers transact faster — and easier — than by using cash or credit cards.

Jabil engineers and manufactures electronic devices with NFC components mounted in a wide variety of materials such as glass, plastics, and ceramics. Using precision design and advanced fabrication techniques such as active alignment, we help our partners excel in a highly-competitive segment where the pressure to bring a product to market rapidly is enormous.

Jabil is uniquely qualified to implement NFC capability given our extensive expertise in:

• Miniaturization of NFC circuit and antenna design
• Electronics printing and LSP technology on the flex substrate
• Firmware optimization that supports system validation
• Customer-friendly interfaces (mechanical, electrical, thermal)

Our NFC components support these standards:

• ISO/IEC 14443 A, B and C
• ISO/IEC 15693
• ISO/IEC 18092
• NFC Forum tags Types 1 to 4
