High-performance inlay designed for customer engagement NFC applications
The Identiv Dry Inlay design (chip + antenna + epoxy glue + [PET] film) or wet (adhesive backing) inlays can be directly embedded in or converted into finished products.
Ideal applications for the new inlay include the Internet of Things (IoT), NFC smart posters and billboards, libraries, event and transportation ticketing, automotive and chemical industries, logistics and supply chain, asset management, pharmaceuticals and healthcare, fast-moving consumer goods, beauty care, spirits, device authentication and counterfeit protection, electronic games, event management, wearable technology, and customer loyalty programs.
Quality, off-the-shelf connectivity at ultra-low costs
With over two billion NFC reader-enabled devices deployed globally, NXP’s NFC Forum compliant NTAG® 210µ is designed to facilitate the adoption of NFC technology across markets in which contactless technology has typically been cost-prohibitive.
