HID Reader iCLASS SE

HID Reader iCLASS SE - Access control system

HID

iCLASS SE readers are part of HID Global's iCLASS SE platform for adaptable, interoperable biometric access control system. Dynamic, iCLASS SE 13.56 MHz contactless biometric readers support a broad array of credential technologies and a variety of form factors including; cards, fobs and mobile devices.

Key Benefits :
  • Adaptable – Interoperable with a growing range of technologies (iCLASS Seos® , iCLASS SE, standard iCLASS®, MIFARE® Classic, MIFARE DESFire® EV1 and magnetic stripe) and form factors including mobile devices.
  • Powerfully Secure – The iCLASS SE platform’s Secure Identity Object® (SIO®) data model provides an extra layer of encryption for additional protection of identity data
  • Standardized Communications (OSDP) – Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) for secure communications between reader and controller.

With a focus on sustainability, iCLASS SE readers include intelligent power management that reduces power consumption by as much as 75%. The biometric readers are also built using recycled content, which contributes toward LEED building credits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. What is the HID iCLASS SE reader?

HID iCLASS SE readers are part of HID Global's iCLASS SE platform for adaptable, interoperable access control. Operating at 13.56 MHz, they support a broad array of credential technologies including iCLASS Seos, iCLASS SE, standard iCLASS, MIFARE Classic, MIFARE DESFire EV1, magnetic stripe, and mobile devices.

Q2. What is the SIO data model in iCLASS SE readers?

The Secure Identity Object (SIO) data model is HID's proprietary credential data structure used in the iCLASS SE platform. It provides an extra layer of encryption for additional protection of identity data, making iCLASS SE readers significantly more secure than earlier-generation readers.

Q3. What is OSDP and why does it matter for iCLASS SE readers?

OSDP (Open Supervised Device Protocol) is an open standard for secure, bi-directional communications between a reader and an access control panel. iCLASS SE readers support OSDP, ensuring encrypted, tamper-detected communications that significantly improve the security of the reader-to-controller channel compared to legacy Wiegand connections.

Q4. How energy-efficient are HID iCLASS SE readers?

iCLASS SE readers feature intelligent power management that reduces power consumption by up to 75% compared to standard readers. They are also built using recycled content, contributing toward LEED building credits for green building certifications.

Q5. Do iCLASS SE readers support mobile device credentials?

Yes. HID iCLASS SE readers support mobile device credentials as a form factor alongside traditional cards and fobs. This enables organizations to deploy smartphone-based access control using HID Mobile Access technology for a more convenient, future-ready authentication experience.
