“Security remains foundational, but today’s organisations are equally focused on convenience, usability and adaptability,” said Ramesh Songukrishnasamy, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer at HID. “As businesses modernise their access control and identity systems, HID provides a seamless bridge to mobile and remote technologies, empowering transformation on the customer’s timeline and budget, with built-in interoperability and trust.”

At the conference, GSX attendees had the opportunity to interact with some of HID’s innovative mobile access and FIDO-enabled solutions—as well as enhancements to elements to its leading portfolio of card printers, encoders and software—designed to increase control, improve convenience, boost efficiency, maximize security and enhance sustainability.

Mobile access: Transformative, scalable and secure

HID Mobile Access solutions present intuitive user experiences, enabling actionable data insights and uncompromising security—demonstrated in recent customer successes that are reshaping workplace and campus experiences, which were also shared at GSX. Compatible across mobile platforms, HID Mobile Access App and HID wallet credentials support a wide spectrum of mobile devices. Paired with HID Origo Bridge, a channel-ready integration tool that enables rapid, no-code deployment, users gain a streamlined path to wallet credentials and future-ready provisioning.

HID Signo readers

HID’s flagship Signo Readers deliver unmatched versatility, supporting a wide array of credential technologies, from traditional cards and fobs to mobile wallets and government-issued credentials like PIV, CAC and TWIC. The portfolio now includes the new Signo PIV Mechanical keypad reader, designed to enable customers to meet stringent US Federal Government SP 800-162-factor authentication for Limited areas while maintaining sleek, modern aesthetics. HID Linq further enhances the administrator experience by enabling remote configuration, seamless firmware updates and real-time system insights—streamlining management across enterprise environments.

Increased productivity and simplified deployment

Two new FIDO-based one-card solutions provide passwordless access to business applications and physical spaces, increasing workforce productivity through simplified deployment and management. The Seos FIDO-Enabled Card combines Seos physical access technology with phishing-resistant FIDO 2.1 authentication in a secure, single credential. The Mifare Desfire EV3 FIDO-Enabled Card integrates advanced Mifare Desfire EV3 smart card technology also with FIDO 2.1 support for unified access.

New features on Fargo HPD5000e printer

The HPD5000e Printer with laminator, engineered for any organisation looking to switch from a higher-end, direct-to-card printer to a retransfer printing solution for improved image quality, has several new and enhanced features, including increased card throughput and more vivid colour. The user-friendly Smartscreen interface and the graphical OLED menu screen are now high-definition and the printer’s end-to-end security now includes built-in AES-256 data encryption, support for UV printing and optional locks for additional peace of mind.

Streamline onboarding with Fargo Connect

HID’s cloud-based card issuance platform, HID Fargo Connect, delivers greater efficiency and convenience by streamlining the onboarding process, especially for remote employees and those in geographically dispersed areas, with instant card issuance and activation. When paired with card printing innovations such as the HID Fargo HDP6600 retransfer card printer, HID Fargo HPD5000e Printer and the DTC1500 direct-to-card printer, the result is simplified card issuance and increased security.
