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. Introduced ahead of GSX 2026, the updates enable users to build on existing infrastructure, reduce onsite work and streamline deployment by eliminating the need to replace readers or issue new mobile keys.
Using Existing Seos Keys Without Replacing Readers
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 Signo™ and iCLASS® SE™, 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 have recognized the value of mobile access for years, but large-scale implementations have often required significant time, resources and coordination. 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."
QuickStart to Mobile for Integration Partners
For HID Advantage Partner Program (APP) partners participating in HID's Trade-Up program in North America, HID is also introducing QuickStart to Mobile, a service that enables HID to onboard end users on behalf of integration partners. Instead of spending time enrolling users, partners can focus on project delivery as customers begin issuing mobile credentials sooner, simplifying both deployment planning and user rollout.
Additional Updates Supporting the Transition to Mobile
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 Linq™ 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 provide a practical digital transformation path 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.
