BARCELONA, Spain, Nov. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Fractus, a pioneer in antenna technology and intellectual property (IP) licensing, today announced a new licensing agreement with one of the top five Point-of-Sale (POS) providers in the US. The agreement marks an important milestone that broadens Fractus' cross-industry reach and further recognizes the vital role that its technology plays in a broad range of connected devices.

Fractus enables compact, reliable wireless devices through decades of antenna R&D and a robust patented portfolio, and this non-contentious agreement brings such innovation to payment terminals via efficient licensing negotiations. Fair, predictable licensing allows implementors to integrate high-performance, multiband connectivity into their devices and systems without duplicating years of research.

"Scaling our technology in the POS market is a natural extension of our mission to make connectivity available everywhere," said Jordi Ilario, CEO of Fractus. "This agreement with an American top-five industry leader validates the strength of our IP and accelerates our strategy to support manufacturers across every product category that relies on wireless communication."

Point-of-Sale terminals are devices with built-in card readers that are used to authorize electronic payments. POS terminals are ubiquitous and can be found in taxis, restaurants, and on-board ticketing terminals among many other places. The convenience and flexibility of avoiding a fixed-line connection have also made these devices a popular option for enabling secure, always-on transactions.

Demand across the entire POS ecosystem remains strong. Manufacturers shipped 121.8 million POS terminals worldwide in 2023, spanning countertop, multilane, handheld and unattended devices across cellular and non-cellular deployments. This scale highlights the broad opportunity as payments move to connected, software-defined terminals.
