HID Enables Organizations To Fast Track Mobile Access Adoption


(MENAFN- Mid-East Info) Existing Seos keys, QuickStart to Mobile and expanded wallet support help organizations adopt mobile access using the infrastructure they already have



Dubai, UAE, September, 2026 – HID, a global leader in trusted identity solutions, today announced new enhancements that help organizations fast-track their mobile access adoption as part of their broader digital transformation. The updates enable users to build on existing infrastructure, reduce on-site work and streamline deployment by eliminating the need to replace readers or issue new mobile keys.

One of the biggest obstacles for mobile projects is the need to update readers already installed throughout a facility. The HID Mobile Access App now includes new functionality that enables HID mobile-ready readers, including HID SignoTM and iCLASS® SETM, to use existing Seos® keys without needing to replace or reconfigure readers, perform firmware updates or require truck rolls. The result is a faster, lower-cost path to mobile while maintaining HID's trusted security.

“Organizations across the Middle East and Africa have recognized the value of mobile access for years, but large-scale implementations have often required significant time, resources and coordination,” said Gustavo Gassman, Vice President of Emerging Markets, PACS HID.“These new capabilities make mobile deployments more practical by allowing customers to use the infrastructure they already have and giving integration partners a more efficient way to deliver projects across the region's fast-growing security landscape.”

Additional updates that support the transition to mobile include:
    Expanded digital wallet support: HID is adding support for Samsung Wallet, expanding digital wallet options in global markets. By supporting wallets people already use, organizations can accelerate mobile adoption, making access more convenient. Simplified reader management: HID LinqTM Mobile enables administrators to configure, update and prepare compatible readers directly from a mobile device. Firmware updates, reader configuration and mobile enablement can all be completed in the field using Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) and NFC, reducing the onsite work required to prepare readers for mobile credentials.

Rather than requiring organizations to choose between maintaining existing infrastructure and adopting mobile credentials, HID's latest enhancements offer a practical path to digital transformation that supports both. Customers can scale mobile access strategically, building on existing investments while supporting current operational priorities and future growth. Together, these enhancements demonstrate HID's customer-focused approach and its continued commitment to helping customers derive greater value from their investments in HID technology.
