Features and Benefits
Easy to Integrate
The ALR-9650 communicates via the popular Alien Reader Protocol, with out-of-the-box support from platform vendors such as Microsoft BizTalk and from software vendors such as Oat Systems and GlobeRanger, and a number of others. A well-documented SDK featuring .NET and Java libraries enables easy development of custom interfaces to control the reader if desired. The reader ships with handy Alien RFID Gateway software that enables the user to begin solution development immediately.
Low System Cost
The cost of running 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. (Where no AC power is available, a standard AC/DC power converter is provided.) With the added cost savings due to the elimination of the external cabling, the ALR-9650 significantly reduces the cost and complexity of installing an RFID read point.
Small Footprint
The ALR-9650 takes up little space; at only 9 inches square it uses less than half the real-estate of a typical, separate reader and antenna system. Combined with the elimination of messy cables for antennas and power, the ALR-9650 easily fits into a variety of tight spaces and enables neat and tidy placement when it is visible to consumers or the general public.
Easy, Quick-Start Solution
The ALR-9650 is the ideal tool for new users of RFID. With its integrated antenna and out-of-the-box software compatibility, the reader enables new users to quickly start reading tags and developing solutions.
