FEATURES
Simple, Low Profi le, Gen 2 RFID Solution
With Power-Over Ethernet (POE) and out-of-the-box software
compatibility with other Alien readers, the ALR-9680 Gen 2
RFID Reader is a simple, low profi le solution that enables
users to start reading tags and developing solutions
immediay.
Easy to Integrate
The ALR-9680 communicates via the easy-to-use Alien Reader
Protocol, with key RFID platform support including Microsoft®
BizTalk RFID, OatSystems, Oracle®, Xterprise and others.
A well-documented SDK featuring .NET, Java and Ruby libraries
enables easy development of custom interfaces to control
the reader if desired. The user friendly Alien RFID Gateway
software enables the user to begin solution development
immediay.
Low System Cost
The cost of installing AC power can sometimes rival the cost
of the reader. The ALR-9680’s POE capability allows power
to be delivered over properly-equipped local area networks,
eliminating expensive AC wiring installation. A POE power
injector is provided to supply power if POE is not available. The
combination of this capability with up to 4 antenna signifi cantly
reduces the cost and complexity of installing an RFID read
point.
