Expanding HID’s leadership in the credential technology market, Seos Essential is a streamlined access control technology that provides highly advanced security at an affordable price and comes with the flexibility to meet the needs of any organization.
Credential technology is the foundation of access control, providing systems the basis on which they determine if someone has the proper authorization to enter a closed door or secure area. It began with magnetic stripe cards and has continued to develop over time. Seos technology is software-based and is the next generation of that technology, providing best-in-class cryptography for unrivaled protection while allowing for a variety of uses in addition to access control.
Seos Essential is designed specifically for users who have come to rely on the ease and simplicity of Seos technology, but don't need additional applications, such as time attendance. "Seos Essential is a simplified and streamlined version of Seos that provides basic physical access control designed to make sure someone can get through the door as simply and efficiently as possible," says Jimmy Dearing, Director of Product Marketing, HID Global, PACS.
Seos technology is attractive because it's software-based, which makes adapting to new systems and devices, such as mobile devices and tags, much easier. Seos Essential cards also come with a migration option that supports low frequency 125KHz, meaning it can interface with these older systems, providing the owners an affordable solution while giving them time to upgrade their systems to modern solutions. For the small- and medium-sized business owner with an old legacy system, it's the perfect next step.
Access control, security, and credential technology are all part of a market where trust is paramount. The Seos 16k card underwent stringent and robust TÜV SEAL-5 security evaluation and received the highest certification possible. "We've undergone a great deal of testing and passed with the highest levels available. We're really pleased and excited about announcing these approvals and certifications to the market."
Seos Essential technology meets a growing need in the market today for simple and affordable credential technology without sacrificing security and confidence. At the same time, it sets up the next step for the future with a system that's designed to work in a mobile-friendly world.
