FEATURES

Simple, Low Proﬁ le, Gen 2 RFID Solution

With Power-Over Ethernet (POE) and out-of-the-box software

compatibility with other Alien readers, the ALR-9680 Gen 2

RFID Reader is a simple, low proﬁ le solution that enables

users to start reading tags and developing solutions

immediately.

Easy to Integrate

The ALR-9680 communicates via the easy-to-use 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.

Low System Cost

The cost of installing AC power can sometimes rival the cost

of the reader. The ALR-9680’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 up to 4 antenna signiﬁ cantly

reduces the cost and complexity of installing an RFID read

point.

Developers Kit

Developer Kits come complete with all the essentials to get

you started:

• ALR-9680 reader

• A circular polarized antenna

• Software Developers Kit (SDK) (via download)

• Universal power supply

• RS-232 cable

• Ethernet cable

• Sample tags

• Convenient carrying case
