It’s industry leading Autonomous Mode and superior sensitivity enables the ALR-9900+ EMA reader to obtain best-in-class read rates, allowing it to accommodate dynamic, fast paced environments with minimal network infrastructure and read points. The readers flexible GPIO system allows simultaneous communication with up to 12 external devices (4 inputs and 8 outputs), allowing control of various gates, switches and devices expected in today’s complex industrial and commercial systems.

ALR-9900+ EMA Enterprise RFID Reader High Performance, Easy to Deploy, Easy to Manage Interoperable and Broadly Supported Alien pioneered the network-ready EPC RFID reader with the widely-supported Alien Reader Protocol (ARP). When the ALR-9900+ is turned on, the unit can be set up for either ARP or Low-Level Reader Protocol (LLRP). The ALR-9900+ EMA is supported by key RFID platforms including Microsoft® BizTalk RFID, IBM WebSphere®, Oat Systems, Oracle® and Xterprise. Proven support for SAP through 3rd-party middleware is also available. A well- documented SDK featuring .NET, Java and Ruby libraries enables easy, custom interfaces to control the reader if desired. Powerful Interfaces for Effective Integration The Alien Reader Protocol features industry leading Autonomous Mode, a programmable state machine that enables the reader to operate independently based on external triggers, timing, or software inputs. This flexible system leads to best-in-class read rates by enabling users to precisely control the parameters for timing, protocol, antenna usage, and other critical variables without network latency delays. Automatic parameter adjustments ensure optimum inventory settings and conform to dynamic tag populations with user-defined boundaries. A flexible general-purpose input-output (GPIO) system enables tight integration with external sensors and actuators for effective integration with existing business processes. High-capacity, optically isolated General Purpose I/O (GPIO) signals can drive many external devices directly, eliminating the need for costly digital I/O equipment and relays. Optical isolation ensures accurate reception of triggering signals in noisy, industrial environments. Middleware access to GPIO inputs and outputs enables direct control via software. Configurable filtering, notification modes, data routing options, and data formats provide flexibility and ease-of- integration. Filtered tag data options, tag streaming, and I/O monitoring and streaming offer additional flexibility. The ALR-9900+ EMA is fully backwards compatible with Alien’s previous generation, the ALR-9900, enabling users to easily operate in a mixed population or to transition to the new-and-improved ALR-9900+ EMA platform. Monostatic Simplicity The ALR-9900+ EMA provides the added simplicity of a monostatic antenna topology, which provides a compact footprint and easy integration. Only one antenna per read point is required, reducing system cost, and complexity. A proprietary, active, noise cancellation and optimization circuit ensures high read rates from the monostatic antenna system by correcting phase distortion introduced by antenna, cable and environmental factors. Power and LAN Failsafe Mechanisms Protect Data The loss of power or LAN connectivity does not lead to the loss of critical tag data. The ALR-9900+ EMA caches up to 2500 tag records in non-volatile memory, preserving data even in the event of a power loss. When operating in Autonomous Mode, the reader will continue to collect up to 6000 tag records even if the LAN connection is interrupted. Upon recovery of the LAN connection, middleware can download accumulated tag data from the reader. Interference Management The ALR-9900+ EMA offers several methods for interference mitigation that provide a powerful solution to the challenge of noisy environments. The reader facilitates a low duty cycle “sniff & read” (“Seek”) mode for applications where motion detection is not an option, or where power conservation or RF interference is of prime concern.

ALR-9900+ EMA Enterprise RFID Reader High Performance, Easy to Deploy, Easy to Manage Good Citizen: EPC Gen 2 Dense Reader Mode The ALR-9900+ EMA is compliant with the EPC Gen 2 Dense Interrogator specification, which reduces interference impact on other readers. Dense Reader Mode (DRM) significantly reduces the out-of-channel noise introduced. Developers Kit Developer Kits come complete with all the essentials to get you started: • ALR-9900+ EMA reader • One circular polarized antennas • Software Developers Kit CD (SDK) • Universal power supply • RS-232 cable • Crossover Ethernet cable • Sample tags • Convenient carrying case Actual product may vary Noise Resistant: Strong Filtering for Interference Rejection The powerful, dynamically adjustable signal processing architecture of the ALR-9900+ EMA ensures strong interference rejection in the presence of other readers or devices. Intelligent Operator: Event-triggered operation and Autonomous Mode The Autonomous Mode functionality of the Alien Reader Protocol enables the reader to collect tag data when triggered by external events detected by photo eyes and other sensors. In this mode, readers are activated only when needed, thereby reducing the ambient environmental noise level of readers operating at any given moment. Dynamic Authentication: Authentication of Higgs-3 RFID ICs The ALR-9900+ EMA includes a security filter to authenticate Higgs-3 ICs. The algorithm is based upon a challenge/ response and confirmation dialog between the reader and the Higgs-3 IC and can be configured to differentiate between verified Higgs-3 ICs and potentially cloned Higgs-3 ICs, thereby further securing product authenticity. High Performance, Easy to Deploy, Easy to Manage The Alien ALR-9900+ EMA Enterprise Reader enables users to deploy manageable, robust, best-in-class RFID thanks to: • A flexible API with broad software support • A high performance radio • Data protection • Robust dense reader interference management
