HID Signo Reader 20 for next-generation access control systems
The HID Signo Reader 20 is part of HID's latest generation of card readers and is developed for modern access control systems with high demands on security, flexibility and future-proofing.
The slim design makes it ideal for door environments with limited mounting space, while offering support for both legacy and new card technologies as well as mobile access.
The reader is ideal for offices, businesses, industry, government agencies, schools, healthcare and multi-family properties.
A reader for almost all card technologies
The Signo Reader 20 is a multi-frequency reader that supports both 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz, making it perfect for upgrades where different card types are used simultaneously.
Support for 13.56MHz
- Seos®
- iCLASS SE®
- iCLASS®
- MIFARE DESFire® EV1
- MIFARE DESFire EV2
- MIFARE DESFire EV3
- MIFARE Classic®
125kHz support
- HID Proximity
- Indala Prox
- Dorado Prox
- European Championship Prox
This makes the transition from older systems much easier without having to replace all cards immediately.
Mobile access with Bluetooth and NFC
The HID Signo Reader 20 has built-in support for Bluetooth and NFC, which allows users to use their smartphone as an access card.
The reader also supports Apple Enhanced Contactless Polling (ECP), which enables the use of digital access cards in Apple Wallet.
It provides a modern and flexible solution where the user can choose between:
- RFID card
- Key tags
- Mobile phone
- Digital access cards
OSDP for higher security
All HID Signo readers have built-in support for Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP).
OSDP offers secure, encrypted, and bidirectional communication between card readers and access controllers, providing significantly better protection than traditional Wiegand communication.
The reader also supports Wiegand for compatibility with older installations.
Future-proof and remotely managed
Signo Reader 20 is developed for future security systems and can be managed remotely without technicians needing to visit each individual reader.
The built-in secure crypto hardware protects encryption keys and the intelligent surface detection automatically optimizes the reading distance according to the installation environment.
