New Delhi, India, 24 September 2025 – HID, a
global leader in trusted identity solutions, made a strong impact at the 8th
edition of the Fire and Security India Expo (FSIE), held recently at the
Yashobhoomi Convention Centre, New Delhi. HID captivated security leaders,
government representatives, and enterprise visitors with the preview of HID
Vento SCA, Smart Card Operating System for Transport Application –
Contactless (SCOSTA-CL) access control reader and HID Amico biometric
facial recognition reader.
Making its global debut at FSIE 2025, HID Vento SCA is
the first access control reader designed and built in India specifically for
Indian government projects with SCOSTA-CL capability.
Purpose-built for resilience and interoperability, the reader features an
embedded SAM module with ISO7816 support for strong authentication, delivers
fast, contactless read range of up to 5 cm with LED and audio feedback, and is
IP65-rated, tamper-protected, and designed for harsh environments.
HID Vento SCA fully supports contactless SCOSTA-CL
credentials while ensuring seamless host controller communication through
compatibility with Wiegand and OSDP protocols. The solution has been tested and
verified by CDAC for cryptographic libraries, making it uniquely positioned to
meet the stringent needs of India’s government and public sector security
infrastructure.
HID Amico is a next-generation biometric facial
recognition reader designed to deliver secure, contactless access in
high-traffic environments such as corporate offices, critical infrastructure
sites, and commercial facilities. HID Amico combines fast and accurate facial
recognition with multiple authentication modes, including RFID cards, HID
Mobile Access, digital wallets, QR codes, and PINs. Its advanced liveness
detection and spoof-prevention technology ensure high levels of accuracy and
security, while its sleek and compact design allows for easy integration into
modern building architectures.
With intuitive LED and audio indicators, HID Amico
biometric facial recognition reader offers a smooth user experience that
balances security with convenience, making it particularly well-suited for mid
to large enterprises looking to modernise their access systems. The solution
will be commercially available by the end of the year.
“FSIE 2025 gave us the perfect stage to showcase how
HID is shaping the future of access control in India,” said Prabhuraj
Patil, Senior Director, AIS (Asean & India Subcontinent), Physical Access
Control Solutions at HID. “With HID Amico, we are redefining convenience
and security for enterprises, while HID Vento SCA demonstrates our deep
commitment to supporting government-driven security standards with SCOSTA-CL
capability.”
Alongside HID Amico and HID Vento SCA, HID also
displayed other highlights from its access control portfolio, including HID
Mobile Access, HID Signo Readers, HID Cards & HID Mobile Credentials in
digital wallets, and HID Intelligent Controllers. Visitors engaged with live
demonstrations and interactive simulations that brought to life the value of
HID’s secure, scalable access control solutions.
Co-organised by the Fire and Security Association of
India (FSAI) and Nova Exhibitions and Conferences, FSIE 2025 brought together
industry leaders for three days of innovation, dialogue, and collaboration,
where HID’s showcase stood out as a key highlight of the event.
