Simple, Low-Profile, Gen 2 RFID Solution

With Power-Over Ethernet (POE) and out-of-the-box software that is compatible with other Alien readers, the ALR-9680 is a simple, low profile solution that enables users to start reading tags and developing solutions immediately.

Easy Integration

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 development of custom interfaces to control the reader if desired. The user-friendly Alien RFID Gateway software enables solution development immediately.

Low System Costs

The cost of installing AC power can sometimes rival that 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 significantly reduces the cost and complexity of installing an RFID read point.
