ALR-9900 Enterprise RFID Reader
High Performance, Easy to Deploy, Easy to Manage
The Alien ALR-9900 Enterprise Reader enables users to deploy manageable, robust,
best-in-class EPC Gen 2 RFID solutions for supply chain, manufacturing and asset
management applications. The result is highly reliable, automatic data capture.
Interoperable and Broadly Supported
Alien pioneered the network-ready EPC RFID reader with the widely-supported
Alien Reader Protocol. The ALR-9900 is supported by key RFID platforms including
Microsoft BizTalk RFID, IBM WebSphere 6.0, Oat Systems, Oracle, GlobeRanger,
BEA and many others. Proven support for SAP through 3rd-party middleware is
also available. A well-documented SDK featuring .NET and Java libraries enables
easy, custom interfaces to control the reader if desired.
Backward Compatible for Easy Integration
The Alien Reader Protocol features Autonomous Mode, a programmable state machine
that enables the reader to operate independently based on external I/O triggers,
timing or software inputs. This flexible system leads to best-in-class read
rates by enabling users to precisely control the parameters for timing, protocols,
antenna usage and other critical variables without network latency.
The ALR-9900 is backward compatible and interchangeable with previous Alien
readers such as the popular ALR-9800 and ALR-9780, ensuring easy transition.
Monostatic Simplicity
The ALR-9900 provides the added simplicity of a monostatic antenna topology,
which provides a smaller footprint and easier integration for certain applications
such as small item tagging. Only one antenna per read point is required, reducing
system cost and complexity. A proprietary, active, noise cancellation mechanism
ensures high read rates from the monostatic antenna system.
Power and LAN Failsafe Mechanisms Protect Data
The loss of power or LAN connectivity does not lead to the loss of critical
tag data. The ALR-9900 caches tag lists in non-volatile memory, preserving data
even in the event of a power loss. When operating in Autonomous Mode, the reader
will continue to collect tag data even if the LAN connection is interrupted.
Interference Management
The ALR-9900 offers several methods for interference mitigation that provide
a powerful solution to the challenge of noisy environments.
Good Citizen: EPC Gen 2 Dense Reader Mode
The ALR-9900 is compliant with the EPC Gen 2 Dense Interrogator specification,
which reduces interference impact on other readers.
Strong Filtering for Interference Rejection
The powerful, dynamically adjustable signal processing architecture of the ALR-9900
ensures strong interference rejection in the presence of other readers or devices.
Event-triggered operation and Autonomous Mode
The Autonomous Mode functionality of the Alien Reader Protocol enables the reader
to collect tag data when triggered by external events detected by electric eyes
and other sensors. In this mode, readers are activated only when needed, thereby
reducing the ambient signal level.
High Performance, Easy to Deploy, Easy to Manage
The Alien ALR-9900 Enterprise RFID Reader enables users to deploy manageable,
robust, best-in-class RFID thanks to:
- A flexible API with broad software support
- A high performance radio
- Data protection
- Robust dense reader interference management
