FreeLinc Technologies Inc. is a research and development company based in Sherborn, Massachusetts, focused on applications of near-field magnetic induction (NFMI) and its potential as a global wireless standard. Its work targets the public safety, military, healthcare, and consumer markets, and it maintains a broad portfolio of patents to protect its NFMI technology. NFMI addresses security, reliability, and power efficiency concerns associated with Bluetooth, and aims to overcome NFC's limited reading range. The technology can be deployed as a standalone chip solution or added to existing communication stacks to operate alongside Bluetooth and NFC. As a smaller player in the wireless services field, FreeLinc sees NFMI as a new platform for the evolving Internet of Things.
