ALIEN ALR-9650 INTEGRATED RFID READER

With its integrated antenna, Power-Over Ethernet (POE) and out-of-the-box software compatibility, the ALR-9650 Gen 2 RFID Reader is a simple, low profi le solution that enables new users to start reading tags and developing solutions immediately. The ALR-9650 communicates via the popular 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 immediately. The cost of installing AC power can sometimes rival the cost of the reader. The ALR-9650’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 the elimination of the external antenna significantly reduces the cost and complexity of installing an RFID read point. The ALR-9650 takes up little space; at only 9 inches square it uses less than half the real-estate of a typical reader and antenna system. Combined with the elimination of messy cables for antennas and power, the ALR-9650 easily fi ts into a variety of tight spaces and enables neat and tidy placement when it is visible to consumers or the general public.
