• Alen Higgs 9 Applications
  - Aviation
  - Automotive
  - Dynamic memory structure
  - High sensitivity

FEATURE	DESCRIPTION	BENEFIT
Sentinel™ Memory	Detects and fixes single bit errors and flags dual bit errors.	Safeguarded data and immunity to typical sources of single bit errors (chip damage, low power etc.)
Read sensitivity	Up to -20 dBm*	Allows smaller tags to be designed or larger read & write distances to be realized.
Write sensitivity	Up to -18 dBm*
Best in class memory reliability	200,000 write cycles	Robust memory retention (twice that of competition
96 bit expandable EPC	Supports EPC size up to 496b for flexibility.	Additional 400 bits allows storing of larger identifying information.
688 bit user memory	User memory for storage of additional application data.	For applications requiring data beyond EPC (asset data, service history, usage info etc.)
48b UTID with lower 38b unique serial for SGTIN generation	48b UTID. Lower 38b are duplicated in the EPC for SGTIN generation.	For retail and general serialzation
Larger “pads” for improved antenna connectivity	More contact area for antenna connectivity	Increased and more consistent yield inlay to inlay

• Alen Higgs 9 Product Overview:
  Featuring pioneering Sentinel MemoryTM bit error correction, world class sensitivity, expandable EPC memory and expansive User Memory, Higgs 9 offers cutting edge performance and data storage capability suitable for today’s ever evolving and demanding application base.
  Ideal for the high memory requirements of Aviation part tagging / tracking and any application requiring data storage at tag and asset level. In addtion, applications requring asset data and/or longer serialization in the EPC memory area may utilize Higgs 9’s configurable EPC memory. Up to 496 bits (124 Hexadecimal characters) may be written to the EPC memory area. This allows increased flexibility to store data such as extended serial numbers, product SKU #, service hours, dates, history etc.
  Like all Alien ICs, Higgs 9 is fully backward compatible with the entire Alien IC and Reader porfolio feature-set. Alien’s mass-encoding capabilities (QuickWrite™ and BlastWrite™) and Aliens anti- cloning technology (Dynamic Authentication™) are supported.
