Supports both EPC Gen 1 and Gen 2

The ALR-9780 provides both EPC Class 1 Gen 1 support and Gen 2 support. 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.
