The ALR-8800 was built for optimal Gen 2 performance in the European regulatory environment. It is fully compliant to the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) EN 302-208 specification. The ALR-8800 enables Alien European value-added solutions providers to deliver high-performance EPC Gen 2 RFID solutions across the European Union. The widely-supported Alien Reader Protocol allows systems integrators and software vendors to quickly and cost-effectively address fast-emerging European RFID opportunities. The reader is compliant with ISO-18000-6c and EPC Gen 2 protocols and has been tested for interoperability with leading Gen 2 RFID tags.

Alien Enterprise RFID Platform

The ALR-8800 leverages the Alien Enterprise RFID Platform, which provides a flexible architecture for meeting current EPC Class 1 Gen 2 performance, management and protocol requirements. The ALR-8800 also hosts the Alien Reader Protocol, which is used by all Alien readers and is widely supported by RFID software companies.

Enterprise-ready

The ALR-8800 is designed for scalable, streamlined, easy-to-manage data collection with a low total cost-of-ownership across any number of installed units. Implementation costs are kept low through the reader's simplified configuration and through its integrated industrial-class general purpose I/O capability that eliminates the need for costly external programmable logic controllers. Powerful remote monitoring and management functionality reduces ongoing costs of ownership while a ruggedized physical design ensures reliable, low-maintenance operation in demanding environments.

High-Performance Gen 2 Read/Write Capability

The ALR-8800 supports ultra-high Gen 2 read rates, making it an ideal solution for demanding applications such as high-speed conveyors and dock doors. The ALR-8800 combines high sensitivity with low cost through its advanced "multistatic" antenna design, whereby each antenna transmits and receives in turn. This enables the ALR-8800 to deliver exceptional conveyor and dock door results.

European Regulatory Compliance

In addition to being fully compliant with the EN 302-208 specification, the ALR-8800 carries the CE Mark and is compliant with all relevant emissions and safety standards in Europe including EN 60950, EN 50364 and EN 301-489. Further, ALR-8800 also supports the EN 300-220 standard for maximum flexibility.

Global Applicability

Operating in the 866 MHz band defined by the ETSI EN 302-208 specification, the ALR-8800 is available for use in the EU, New Zealand and India.

Focusing on the manufacture of reliable, low-cost RFID tags, Alien Technology offers a wide range of EPC compliant UHF solutions for pallet, case and item level tagging. Through Alien's proprietary manufacturing process, Fluidic Self Assembly (FSA®) and High Speed Strap Attach Machine (HiSAM) assembly technology, Alien can manufactures high performance electronic product code (EPC) Class 1 Gen 2 tags in high volumes at very low cost.

The Alien World Tags are designed to operate globally within a narrowly defined performance band from 860 to 960 MHz, which enables each individual tag to be used successfully across the Americas, Europe, Asia and Africa and their unique RFID operating frequencies. Alien World Tags enable companies to manufacture products on one continent and ship them worldwide utilizing a single RFID tag type – with the tag exhibiting uniform behavior and delivering consistent performance globally.

The small factor tags are ideal for demanding applications requiring a small footprint, such as item level tagging. These tags can be incorporated into packaging to leverage metal components within the packaging to extend their read range.
