Overview

What the Wi-Fi IF9A UHF integrated reader does

This is the IF9A integrated UHF reader with Wi-Fi built in. The reader, a 9 dBi antenna and the wireless radio share one rugged die-cast aluminium case, and the reader can post tag reads over HTTP straight to a web server or cloud application. No PC or middleware box is needed at the read point.

That makes it the IF9A to choose when pulling a network cable to the location is costly or impractical: a parking entry across an open lot, a yard gate or a temporary site.

How direct HTTP POST works

  1. Connect. Join the reader to your Wi-Fi network and set the server address that should receive reads.
  2. Read. In Active mode the reader starts reading tags in range as soon as it powers up.
  3. Post. Tag reads are sent as HTTP POST requests to your endpoint, where your parking, gate or tracking software acts on them.

If your application would rather ask for data, Answer mode lets it call the reader on demand. SDKs are provided for .NET and Java applications as well as Linux, Python, Arduino and Raspberry Pi projects. Our RFID software and middleware guide covers how those reads become records in your system.

Read performance

Inside the case, the Impinj E3500 chip drives a 9 dBi antenna for an effective read distance of up to 25 m; tag size, mounting height and nearby metal all shift that figure. Each read can include EPC, TID and User memory, so the server receiving the POST gets more than the EPC number alone. The LED turns green on every read, a quick way to confirm the aim before you fix the reader in place.

Wired links and relay

Wi-Fi is not the only option on this unit: it also has USB, RS232, Wiegand, RJ45 Ethernet and PoE, plus an optional relay output for a boom barrier or alarm. If the site has no Wi-Fi coverage at all, the 4G IF9A uses a SIM card instead. For a gate that already has cabling, the standard IF9A is the simpler choice.

Typical applications

  • Parking entry and exit
  • Yard vehicle tracking
  • Gate access control
  • Personnel tracking

Frequently asked questions

Can the Wi-Fi IF9A send data without a PC?
Yes. It has inbuilt Wi-Fi and supports direct HTTP POST, so tag reads go straight to your server or cloud application without a PC or middleware box at the read point.
What is the read range of the Wi-Fi IF9A?
The built-in 9 dBi antenna gives an effective read distance of up to 25 m, depending on the tag type, mounting and environment. Test with the tags you plan to use before fixing the reader position.
How is this different from the standard IF9A?
This version adds inbuilt Wi-Fi with direct HTTP POST and uses the Impinj E3500 reader chip. Choose the standard IF9A for a wired gate, or the 4G IF9A where there is no Wi-Fi network.
Which programming languages are supported?
SDKs are available for .NET, Java, Linux, Python, Arduino and Raspberry Pi. The reader runs in Active (plug and play) mode or Answer mode, where your application calls it for data.
Can it open a boom barrier?
It has an optional relay output and a Wiegand interface, the usual ways to trigger a barrier or feed an access controller. Mention the relay option when you request a quote.
