XPass D2 acquires OSDP certification

Suprema recently announced that its compact outdoor RFID reader, XPass D2, has been verified by SIA as OSDP-compliant.

OSDP (Open Supervised Device Protocol) is an open-source protocol devised to improve interoperability among access control products from different manufacturers. OSDP enables bi-directional communication between readers and controllers, an improvement from the one-way data transmission of Wiegand interface. OSDP also offers enhanced security by using RS-485 protocols with AES-128 encryption that fully protects communication paths from the reader to the server.

SIA, the Security Industry Association, has driven the OSDP technology by administering a comprehensive testing programme to validate if a device conforms to its OSDP standards and related performance profiles. SIA is a trade association for global security solution providers, with over 1100 member companies.

Suprema’s accredited product, XPass D2, is an IP67- and IK08-rated compact outdoor card reader that comes in three form factors of mullion-mount, gang box and gang box with keypads. XPass D2 is compatible not only with RFID cards, but also with Suprema Mobile Access, a mobile credential solution that can communicate via BLE and NFC with both iOS and Android smartphones.
