Inner Range SIFER RS-485 Smart Card Reader
The SIFER card reader is a Smart Card reader designed and manufactured by Inner Range. It is a multi-drop RS-485-based reader that employs 128-bit AES encryption from the card through to the door module, providing a far superior level of security than that of traditional Wiegand-based card readers. SIFER readers utilize the Mifare DESFire© EV1/EV2/EV3 card format.
