Design Makes It Easy to Use When Wearing Gloves or
in Low Visibility Conditions
CARDIFF,
Wales, July 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- HID, a
worldwide leader in trusted identity solutions, announces today the
availability of the new HID® Signo™ Mechanical Keypad Reader
40T, engineered to offer high performance in harsh and challenging
environments where the weather is wet or cold and visibility is
low.
The new reader has a robust IP-65 rated construction – meaning
the electrical components are dustproof and watertight – along with
a traditional mechanical push button keypad to make it easy to use
when wearing gloves or where some users of a building are visually
impaired due to low light conditions.
"As a high-performance reader with reliable features for harsh
environments, it's a great offering for customers who have a
preference or specification for a traditional mechanical device,"
says Spencer Marshall, HID's Head of
Europe. "It also comes with all
the security and mobile-ready features you'd expect from our
signature range of Signo readers, providing customers with utmost
flexibility. Whether using the keypad, smartphones, fobs, or cards,
users can gain fast and easy entry into buildings."
The new Signo 40T Reader comes with the following key
features:
- Digital wallet ready — Support for a wide range of
credential technologies, including HID Mobile Access® via native
Bluetooth® and near field communication (NFC) capability, the new
reader supports credentials in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet. This
means users get touchless entry without having the added step of
opening additional apps.
- Enhanced security — Highly secure storage of
cryptographic keys on certified secure element hardware, plus a new
surface detection feature that enables the reader to automatically
recalibrate and optimize read range performance, the new Signo 40T
Reader is ideal for door applications requiring a wall switch
mount.
- Easy connectivity — Out-of-the-box support for Open
Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) for secure bidirectional
communication, the new Signo 40T Reader is designed to easily
integrate and fit without requiring considerable time or
unnecessary extra cost from installation engineers. The reader is
designed to enable remote management, too.
The new HID Signo Mechanical Keypad Reader 40T is available
today in Nordic countries including Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. Visit the product page to learn
