HID has unveiled the Signo Décor Reader 30, tailored specifically for high-design environments which demand both aesthetic appeal and robust security. The new reader reflects the company's response to consistent feedback from architects, specifiers, and integrators, seeking both design and security in physical access solutions.
The Signo Décor Reader 30 is engineered to seamlessly integrate into European and China-style back boxes. It is equipped with an IK10 rating for impact resistance and an IP65 rating, ensuring durability for both indoor and outdoor settings. This makes it a suitable choice for design-oriented spaces such as lobbies, hotels, transport hubs, and mixed-use developments, capable of withstanding frequent use.
Secure element hardware
Jos Beernink, Vice President Europe for HID’s Physical Access Control (PACS), stated, "Security should not force a choice between how a space looks and how well it is protected." This ethos underlines HID's approach to product development, allowing customers to embrace security without compromising on design aesthetics.

Built upon the established architecture of the Signo line, the Décor model incorporates EAL5+ certified secure element hardware. It supports the SIO data model for reliable authentication and communicates securely with control panels through the Open Supervised Device Protocol. With built-in Bluetooth and NFC capabilities, it enables users to access areas using HID Mobile Access and digital wallet credentials, offering flexibility alongside traditional access cards.
Streamlined operations and versatility
The design consistency of the Signo Décor Reader 30 extends to operational management across multiple buildings. The HID Reader Manager and HID Linq enable remote updates and monitoring, thus removing the need for on-site technician interventions to maintain firmware and configuration.
The reader is also offered as a module for broader applications in intercoms, elevators, turnstiles, and other access-control equipment. This provides OEM partners with a unified design language across various products.
Available in black or white, the Signo Décor Reader 30 measures 90x90 mm and is currently available in Europe, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and the UAE. Plans for additional Signo Décor models in other regions are anticipated later in the year.
