IF9A vs IF9C: UHF integrated readers with a built-in 9 dBi antenna

Both are integrated UHF readers: the reader and a built-in 9 dBi antenna in one die-cast aluminium case, for India's 865–868 MHz band. The IF9A is built on the E710 chip with Gen2X support, reads up to 1,000 tags/s and up to 25 m (effective, depending on tag, mounting and environment), and lists USB, RS232, Wiegand, RJ45 Ethernet and PoE, with Wi-Fi and 4G versions. The IF9C lists 0–26 dBm adjustable output, a read range of up to 12 m, TCP/IP Ethernet, RS232, RS485, Wiegand 26/34 and one relay, and works with ID Tech and ZKRFID software.
