iCLASS SIO-Enabled (SE) readers are part of HID Global's next generation access control readers and open ecosystem based on Secure Identity Object (SIO), a new portable credential methodology from HID, and HID's Trusted Identity Platform (TIP) architecture for advanced applications, mobility and heightened security..

• Powerfully Secure - Provides multi-layered security beyond the card technology, providing added protection to identity data using SIOs.
• Technology-independent - Supports multiple technologies (iCLASS Seos and iCLASS SE credential platforms, standard iCLASS, MIFARE, and MIFARE DESFire EV1).
• Adaptable - Interoperable with a growing range of technology environments and form factors including NFC smartphones via Seos.
• Standardized communications (OSDP) -Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) for secure, bidirectional communication.

iCLASS SE readers also support Near Field communication (NFC) card emulation for migration to HID access control on mobile devices while delivering enhanced functionality for future applications. Eco-friendly iCLASS SE readers include intelligent power management that reduces reader power consumption by as much as 75% and the readers are built using recycled content, which contributes toward building LEED credits.
