RFID maker Alien raises $66 million more
Friday July 29, 12:32 pm ET

Alien Technology, which makes radio frequency identification technology, has raised another $66 million in its Series H round of venture financing.
SunBridge Partners led the round, which brings to $200 million the total capital investment in the 10-year-old Morgan Hill company.


Market demand for RFID technology is growing with Wal-Mart and the Department of Defense mandating its use for inventory control. And that signals vast opportunity for Alien and its proprietary technology, say analysts who view Alien as moving toward an initial public offering of its stock.

Alien recently signed a deal to partner with Microsoft, supplying readers and tags for the software giant's RFID technology efforts. It also acquired Quatrotec, a firm with design experience in the transportation sector, particularly in airport security and baggage handling systems.

Existing Alien investors Advanced Equities, Digital Bandwidth, Equitek Capital, Lago Ventures and Miami Valley Venture Fund also participated in the latest round.
