No, they are based on different technologies. FeliCa^TM and NFC are technologies designed primarily for authentication and payment transaction, based on wireless card technology. TransferJet is optimized for very high-speed wireless data transfer based on wideband wireless technology. This means that both TransferJet and FeliCa/NFC can co-exist in the same location and operate using a single touch.

A7

Since the transmit power of TransferJet technology is extremely low, it will rarely create interference with other wireless devices nearby.
