HID, New Signo Décor Reader: Secure Access and Design Aesthetic

HID launches HID Signo Décor in response to a request that architects, specifiers and integrators have repeatedly raised: a Signo-grade reader built for high-design spaces, without a compromise on the security behind it. 

FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF HID SIGNO DÉCOR READER

There are many features of the HID Signo Décor Reader.

DESIGNED FOR HIGH-DESIGN SPACES

The Signo Décor Reader 30 model mounts flush on European, and China, style back boxes and sits behind a robust glass face, rated IK10 for impact resistance and IP65 for indoor and outdoor use, fitting naturally into design-led lobbies, hotels, transport hubs and mixed-use developments while standing up to demanding daily use.

“Security should not force a choice between how a space looks and how well it is protected – says Jos Beernink, Vice President Europe for HID’s Physical Access Control (PACS) business area. – This belief is what drives HID’s product development: to give customers choice without asking them to trade away the trust they have placed in our Signo line”.

SIGNO-GRADE SECURITY AND CONNECTIVITY

Décor runs on the same architecture as the rest of the Signo family, so specifiers and integrators can bring it into a design-led project with the same confidence as any other Signo reader. It uses EAL5+ certified secure element hardware and supports SIO data model for trusted authentication, and it communicates with control panels over Open Supervised Device Protocol for encrypted two-way monitoring. Native Bluetooth and NFC support means end users can present a phone as easily as a card, using HID^® Mobile Access^® and digital wallet credentials alongside existing access cards.

SIMPLE REMOTE MANAGEMENT

For teams managing readers across a portfolio of buildings, that consistency extends to operations. Signo Décor can be updated and monitored through HID Reader Manager, or remotely using HID Linq , so firmware and configuration stay current without a technician visiting every door.

FLEXIBLE INTEGRATION AND GLOBAL AVAILABILITY

It is also available as a module for integration into intercoms, elevators, turnstiles and other access hardware, giving OEM partners a consistent design language across their product lines. The Signo Décor Reader 30 model, available in black or white in a 90×90 mm form, is available in Europe, China, Hong Kong, Singapore and the UAE. Additional Signo Décor model variants will become available in other regions later this year.
