NFC Shield Range

Is there any way to increase the range of the NFC shield to more than 1cm?

hi, the NFC shiedl communication range is up to 10 cm, usually about 5cm. please ref the wiki: seeedstudio.com/wiki/NFC_Shield

That’s not what it says:

NFC communication range is up to 10 cm. But, this is limited by the antenna and power radiation design. Most devices work within a range of 10mm. NFC Shield antenna is designed to work within a range of 1cm.

But - it’s not really a problem. 1cm is fine for what I’m doing…
