AUSTIN, Texas—HID, a worldwide developer of identity solutions, has announced the expansion of its signature line of Signo Readers to include models that meet varying customer needs–from harsh conditions to stylistic preferences.
“Signo Readers are designed with versatility in mind to satisfy the increasing demand for customization,” says Cristian Cotiga, VP of product management for physical access control systems at HID. “These latest models provide customers even more ways to meet their unique and evolving security needs.”
According to the global security solutions manufacturer, the new Signo products offer a choice that includes:
• Signo Readers available in white: The new products provide a very clean, minimalist, and modern look, offering architects, designers, and anyone looking to blend their access control readers into new environments with a bright and neutral aesthetic.
• Signo Mechanical Keypad Readers: HID Global notes the products provide a high-performance, reliable option for harsh environments, which can be used in cases where cold and wet weather conditions require gloved hands or when users may have low visibility. They also provide an option when there is a preference or specification for a traditional mechanical device.
HID’s New Signo Products Blend into a Range of Environments
HID Signo Readers, the company continues, feature a sleek, upscale design and deliver features to help keep organizations secure. Some of those safety benefits include:
• Versatility: The new Signo products support for the widest range of credential technologies, including HID Mobile Access via native Bluetooth and nearfield communication (NFC) capability. The new Signo line of products also features Apple’s Enhanced Contactless Polling (ECP) to support credentials in the Apple Wallet, and support for mobile credentials in Google Wallet.
• Enhanced performance: Secure storage, plus a surface detection feature that enables the reader to automatically recalibrate and optimize read range performance.
• Connected to the future: HID Global stresses the new Signo products offer out-of-the-box support for Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) for secure bidirectional communication. Each reader is also designed to be connected and managed remotely without “sneakernet” or the need to be physically touched.
At the upcoming GSX 2024 show in Orlando on Sept. 23-25 attendees can see the latest HID Global Signo products in booth #1241.
