Product Overview:
Powered by Alien®’s break-through Higgs™3
UHF RFID IC and innovative antenna design,
the ALN-9629 delivers industry leading EPC Gen
2 performance and reliability in a compact formfactor.
ALN-9629 inlays are World Tag compliant,enabling consistent operation across the diverse
frequencies of the Americas, Europe, Middle East,
Asia, and Africa.
With its Higgs-3 core, the “Square” delivers
exceptional performance and is especially well
suited for item level applications where geometries
are constrained.
The “Square” inlay comprises a rich feature set
including a 32-bit TID, a 64-bit Unique TID forauthentication and serialization applications,an extensible EPC memory bank, 512-bits ofuser memory for distributed data applications,and password protected read and write support
capabilities to prevent unauthorized viewing andmodification of the tag’s data.
