The ALR-9824 RFID Portal builds upon the success of the ALX-9010 series of portal appliances to provide a complete and easy-to-install dock-door portal solution in a durable casing. The portal is powered by the leading ALR-9800 Gen 2 RFID reader with four high-gain antennas included. The portal family includes the EPC Gen 2 Dense Reader Mode certified ALR-9800 and includes single-sided, double-sided and extended height options.

The Alien reader portfolio is backwards compatible with existing Alien readers. Alien network-ready EPC RFID readers use the widely-supported Alien Reader Protocol, with reader software support including BizTalk Server 2006 R2, IBM WebSphere 6.0, Oat Systems, Oracle, GlobeRanger, and many others. Proven support for SAP through third-party middleware is also available. A well-documented SDK featuring .NET and Java libraries enables easy and custom interfaces to control the reader as required.

Alien's portfolio of RFID readers and tags are supported through Alien Technology?s global network of more than 200 authorized distributors, Value Added Resellers (VAR), independent software vendors (ISV), converters and Alliance partners. Alien readers and tag products have earned designation as Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technologies under the Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies (SAFETY) Act of 2002 for airports baggage and cargo handling systems.
