Fime has enhanced its Near Field Communication (NFC) testing offering by opening a new Technical Centre in Lille, France.
This will strengthen Fime’s complete NFC testing solution, enabling full end-to-end design, development and integration support. It complements Fime’s existing consultancy, test suite and software capabilities to further reinforce the quality of its offer and its continued focus on customer satisfaction.
To enable this growth, Fime is expanding its team with a number of experienced NFC hardware engineers. These experts will ensure that the new Technical Centre provides best-in-class testing solutions consistent with the high standards of Fime’s existing NFC services. This means that Fime will be able to support solution providers, terminal manufacturers, OEMs and other stakeholders achieve faster, easier and more cost-effective integration between NFC software and hardware.
“Developing innovative testing solutions is core to our strategy,” comments Fime CEO, Lionel Grosclaude. “By enhancing our offer, Fime now has the ability to quickly respond to ever-changing market requirements with innovative NFC Test Bench solutions. This allows us to leverage our extensive experience to help our clients develop and launch cutting-edge payment solutions, digital identity and smart mobility products that meet the latest industry standards.”
Fime is an Associate member of EMVCo and NFC Forum, through which it has contributed to the development of the associations’ specifications and certification programs. This means that its radio frequency (RF) Test Bench is fully prepared to help deliver seamless, secure contactless technology to a growing number of industries.
This marks the latest advancement in Fime’s growth journey following the investment by Gallant Capital in April 2024. It has reinforced its commitment to delivering state-of-the-art testing solutions and supporting the growth of the contactless technology ecosystem. With the integration of these new test solutions and its new Lille Technical Centre, Fime is well positioned to drive innovation and ensure compliance with evolving industry standards, benefiting a broad spectrum of stakeholders in the payment and smart mobility sectors.
