Our new zonal protection system keeps items on display- exactly where shoppers want them-while reducing employee involvement and simplifying the entire process
THOROFARE, N.J.
, Feb. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Checkpoint's, Alpha High-Theft Solutions introduces Alpha Zone 2.0, a next generation anti-theft product locationing solution. The solution offers zonal protection of display or high value merchandise without restricting the shopping experience and reducing the store's risk of theft.
Alpha Zone 2.0 works through communication between the zonal hub and the Zone 2.0 security tags. When a tagged item exits the hub's range the tag and the hub will activate an alarm. When the item is returned to the zone, the alarm automatically cancels. The tags and hub will also alarm tampered with and when placed inside a foil lined bag. The Alpha Zone 2.0 remote allows employees to deactivate the alarming tag and extend the hub's range of coverage. Multiple hubs can be used for coverage of larger areas.
Eric Servais, Director of Alpha Sales NA, "Alpha Zone 2.0 is expanding our efforts at strengthening zone technology. We have already proven the success of this technology at several retailers. The improvements made with Alpha Zone 2.0 are a real game changer. We are finding new use cases, and this solution continues to be easy to manage, install and is in line with Alpha's Sell More Lose Less philosophy."
"With Alpha Zone 2.0, we set out to solve one of retail's toughest challenges—protecting high-value merchandise without putting barriers between shoppers and products," said Gerald Alvarado, Director of Global Product Management at Checkpoint Systems. "This solution gives retailers the flexibility to create open, engaging displays while delivering zonal protection that responds instantly to theft or tampering. Alpha Zone 2.0 represents a meaningful step forward in how retailers balance security, experience, and operational efficiency."
