ALIEN RFID Reader
ALIEN ALR-9800 RFID Reader
The Alien ALR-9800 is the RFID reader based on the Alien Enterprise RFID
Platform, designed from the ground up for EPC Class 1 Gen 2 compliance. The
ALR-9800 sets new standards for RFID readers through its:
Enterprise-scalable architecture
Highest performance read capability
Superior dense reader management
The result is a new-generation reader ideal for efficient implementation of
RFID on a small or large scale with high level performance, lower initial
and ongoing costs, and accelerated return-on-investment (ROI).
Enterprise-ready
The ALR-9800 is designed for scalable, streamlined, easy-to-manage data
collection with a low total cost-of-ownership across any number of installed
units. Implementation costs are kept low through the reader's simplified
configuration and through its integrated industrial-class general purpose
I/O capability that eliminates the need for costly external programmable
logic controllers. Powerful remote monitoring and management functionality,
including SNMP support, reduces ongoing costs of ownership while a
ruggedized physical design ensures reliable, low-maintenance operation in
demanding environments.
Highest Read/Write Across Multiple Protocols
The ALR-9800 supports all current EPC protocols, including Class 1 Gen 2 and
Class 0/0+, with virtually no switching latency between protocols.
Ultra-high read rates are supported across all protocols, making the
ALR-9800 an ideal solution for demanding mixed population applications such
as high-speed conveyors. The ALR-9800 combines high sensitivity with low
cost through its advanced "multistatic" antenna design, whereby each antenna
transmits and receives in turn. This enables the ALR-9800 to deliver
exceptional conveyor and dock door results using only half the number of
antennas required by most other readers.
Enhanced Reader Coordination
The ALR-9800 is compliant with the Gen 2 specification for Single, Dense and
Multiple Reader modes. Dense Reader mode enables the ALR-9800 to make
efficient use of the available RF spectrum when large numbers of readers
operate in the same space. The ALR-9800 also employs a broadband
listen-before-talk capability to avoid interference with close proximity
readers, and leverages its general purpose I/O capability to reduce the
on-time of each reader and thus enable larger numbers to co-exist in the
same facility.

Field-upgradeable firmware enables ongoing support for popular, EPC Gen 2
compliant tags.
Field -Tested, Widely-Supported Software Interface
The ALR-9780 is supported by a wide range of RFID middleware, WMS and
enterprise software platforms. Software integration is implemented through
the use of royalty-free Java and .NET libraries found in a well-documented
Software Developer’s Kit. Alien RFID Gateway software allows immediate
testing and development work to begin.
Developer's Kit Includes:
ALR-9780 Reader and ALR-9610 antenna
Hardware Setup Guide
Reader Interface Guide with API Definitions
Hardware Technical Specification
Sample source code
Royalty-free Java and Visual Basic libraries
Antennas, tags and accessories
Alien RFID Gateway test and development software
Network Ready and Easy to Configure
The ALR-9780 is easy and inexpensive to install and operate.
Configuration is accomplished locally via serial port or remotely via the
LAN with XML-packaged commands or a human-readable ASCII interface.
Configurable Options Include:
Filtering on whole or partial tag ID
Elimination of redundant IDs
Reads triggered by external event or software command
Data configured in XML, ASCII or custom format
Event notification by LAN, I/O signal, or email
Single Antenna per Read Point for Low Hardware Cost
The ALR-9780 requires only one antenna per read point. Each antenna
serves as both sender and receiver, eliminating the need for costly
dual-element antennas and reducing hardware costs by up to several hundred
dollars per installation.
