HID 20NKS-T2-000000 Signo 20 Reader with Bluetooth and Mobile Credentials
When you need to support both traditional proximity cards and modern mobile credentials without managing multiple readers, the HID Signo 20 delivers multi-technology flexibility in a compact surface-mount form factor. This reader bridges legacy 125 kHz systems with Bluetooth-enabled smartphone credentialing, letting you migrate access control infrastructure on your timeline while maintaining backward compatibility with existing cardholder databases.
Key Features
- Multi-technology support: HID Prox, iCLASS, and Bluetooth Low Energy mobile credentials
- SMART credential platform compatible with Seos and other HID secure identity technologies
- Wiegand output for integration with standard access control panels
- Dual LED feedback (red/green flash) and integrated buzzer for clear user prompts
- Surface-mount installation simplifies retrofits and new deployments
- Black and silver housing options suit varied architectural requirements
- Bluetooth connectivity enables smartphone-based access without card issuance
- Tamper-resistant design suitable for interior and weather-protected locations
The Signo 20 solves the credential migration challenge faced by integrators managing large installations. Rather than forklift replacements when clients want mobile access, this reader lets you phase in Bluetooth credentials while existing prox cards remain functional. The SMART framework means you're not locked into a single credential type—add iCLASS SE or Seos later without hardware changes. Wiegand output maintains compatibility with virtually any access panel you're already deploying, from basic two-door controllers to enterprise-class systems.
Surface mounting speeds installation in retrofit scenarios where flush-mounting isn't practical or would damage finished surfaces. Visual and audible feedback—red LED for denial, green flash for grant, plus buzzer tones—reduces user confusion and support calls. For facilities adding mobile credentials to reduce card costs or support temporary access scenarios, the integrated Bluetooth radio eliminates the need for separate smartphone readers or complex middleware.
