The Alien Enterprise RFID Platform
August 23, 2005
•White Paper: RFID Platform
The Alien Enterprise RFID Platform anticipates a time when the inherent ROI potential of RFID and the sheer mathematics of compliance volume will drive RFID integration into mainstream business processes. Retailers are working towards this goal aggressively now. Among suppliers, early adopters are taking the first steps toward this migration, moving RFID from slap-and-ship back into the core operations of the firm where the management of inventory, the manufacture of product, and ultimately the receipt of raw materials occur. The goal is the same for both retailers and suppliers: to deliver measurable improvement in operating metrics from the day-to-day use of RFID.
This vision requires large numbers of readers operating in harmony with each other and with the enterprise network. End users need to ensure that the infrastructure investment they make will ensure robust RFID performance, efficient manageability and effective interference mitigation. The Alien Enterprise RFID Platform ensures these characteristics through an architecture that delivers power now and adaptability in the future.
The Alien Enterprise RFID Reader Platform enables the deployment of superior RFID system performance across a broad scope of applications and use cases. The Platform provides best-in-class performance today, and sets the foundation for continuing enhancements to the three key links in an RFID system:
- Reader-to-tag
- Reader-to-enterprise
- Reader-to-reader
