Alien Technology ALR-F800 Fifth Generation Enterprise RFID Reader
Alien Technology ALR-F800 Fifth Generation Enterprise RFID Reader
Alien® ALR-F800 is a best in class, self-optimizing Enterprise class reader that enables users to deploy best-in-class EPC Gen 2 RFID solutions for retail, supply chain, manufacturing, mobile asset tracking and asset management applications.
Reader Practicality and Power
The ALR-F800 introduces a paradigm shift in RFID reader practicality. The reader providers the highest transmit power of any reader when operating from Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) power yet offers seamless switching between DC power and PoE power. This removes the need to decide about power source in order to obtain optimal reader performance. Just pick the most cost effective source for your application.
Usable Performance
Many readers lay claims to the “best performance” and can throw datasheet numbers to “prove” it. However, as soon as these solutions are implemented in real-life complex RF environment their performance drops-off dramatically. The ALR-F800 is different. The system monitors the RF environment in real-time and manipulates a number of parameters, filters and tuning metrics dynamically and provides “Smart Throttling” that gently changes the readers behavior to maximize the tags read. Non-Alien readers degrade their performance down to a minimum while the ALR-F800 throttles down using smart algorithms.
Industry Standard I/O and Firmware Personality
The reader is extensible via industry standard I/O including micro-SD cards (for adding memory) and USB (for accessing wireless I/O such as Wifi and cellular modems). Most readers are programmable but this reader also has the ability for the RF subsystem to be updated via firmware. These updates help protect the ALR-F800 from obsolesce.
