Already known for its versatility, the latest additions to the Signo™ reader line-up provide options to meet varying climatic, aesthetic and budget demands.
The world’s most versatile access control reader has just become, well, more versatile, with HID announcing new additions to its signature line of Signo™ Readers.
Renowned for their open architecture, compatibility, and ability to simultaneously accommodate a range of traditional and frictionless credential options, the Signo™ range now offers even greater versatility in meeting customer needs for style, reliability, and affordability.
Readers in white
White. It’s the colour of the bank canvas, the timeless hue of interior design, and the neutral palette of the walls we surround ourselves with.
Security does its best work when it’s keeping a low profile. With Signo™ Readers now available in white, access control no longer stands out – it blends into the contemporary spaces we work and live in, delivering a new spin on ‘security by design’.
Providing a clean, minimalist, and stylish look, the new readers offer architects and designers with a bright and neutral aesthetic, achieving new levels of both form and function.
Framed with HID’s standard Silver Trim, the following Signo™ models are now available in white:
- Signo 20
- Signo 20K (with Capacitive Keypad)
- Signo 40
- Signo 40K (with Capacitive Keypad)
All weather readers
But, of course, New Zealand isn’t all stylish interiors and haute design. From maritime to alpine, Aotearoa offers a range of testing climatic conditions.
For this reason, another welcome addition to the Signo™ family is the new Signo™ Mechanical Keypad Reader, which offers a high-performance, reliable push-button option for harsh environments.
“HID Signo™ Readers feature a sleek, upscale design and deliver innovative features to help keep organisations secure.”
The Ultimate Reader for Harsh Environments. Designed to excel in challenging conditions, the HID Signo™ 40T Mechanical Keypad Reader provides unmatched performance even in cold and wet weather. Its IP-65 rated robust construction and traditional mechanical push-button input ensure reliability and ease of use, even when wearing gloves or in low-visibility situations.
The IP (Ingress Protection) rating means that the reader has been tested against international standard EN 60529 for the effectiveness of design against intrusion from dust, dirt, and moisture.
At IP65, the reader is totally dust tight, delivering full protection against dust and other particulates. It’s also protected against low-pressure jets (6.3 mm) of water from any angle.
This makes the 40T Mechanical Keypad Reader ideal for use 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.
It’s also perfect for users who may be visually impaired, ensuring accessibility for all users.
Helping Organisations meet dynamic security needs
HID Signo™ Readers feature a sleek, upscale design and deliver innovative features to help keep organisations secure, including:
- Versatility — Support for the widest range of credential technologies, including HID Mobile Access via native Bluetooth and near field communication (NFC) capability. 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 — 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.
