ALR-8800

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.
