ALR-F800 Self-Optimizing, Enterprise RFID Reader
Fifth Generation, Self Optimizing, Easy to Deploy/Manage
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, fi lters 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 fi rmware. These updates help
protect the ALR-F800 from obsolesce.
