Product Overview:
Powered by Alien ® ’s volume focused Higgs™-EC UHF
RFID IC and innovative Squiggle antenna design, the ALN-
9840 delivers industry leading EPC Gen 2 performance and reliability at a competitive price.
ALN-9840 inlays are World Tag compliant, enabling consistent operation across the diverse frequencies of the
Americas, Europe, Middle East, Asia, and Africa.
With its Higgs™-EC core, the Squiggle delivers next generation performance and a rich feature set, yet is completely optimized for the highest volume enterprise, retail, and apparel applications .
An optimized memory footprint includes a 32-bit TID, a 48bit Unique TID for authentication and next generation serialization applications, a 128-bit EPC memory bank, 128-bits of user memory for distributed data applications, and password protected read and write support capabilities to prevent unauthorized viewing and modification of the tag’s data.
Typical applications for the Squiggle include, but are not limited to, corrugate cases, pallet placards, apparel hang tags, baggage tags, shipping labels, asset management, and file folder labels.
