Signo 20 / 20K Readers
Slim mullion readers for narrow door frames — the 20K adds a keypad for card + PIN two-factor entry at sensitive doors.

Open-architecture intelligent controller — two doors onboard (two Wiegand or four OSDP readers), expandable to 64 readers and 64 access points with downstream modules.
Seos & iCLASS Credentials
Encrypted Seos and iCLASS SE smart cards and fobs, MIFARE DESFire EV3, plus ProxCard II 125 kHz for legacy systems — and HID Mobile Access phone credentials.
HID Compatibility & Migration
Works with virtually every access platform we install. HID readers and credentials are the industry standard — we deploy them with Brivo, Lenel OnGuard, S2 NetBox, Kantech EntraPass, Honeywell WIN-PAK/MPA and Avigilon Alta, over OSDP Secure Channel or Wiegand.
Mobile access: HID Mobile Access powered by the Origo cloud puts credentials on iPhone, Apple Watch and Android — employees badge in with a tap or Twist-and-Go.
Painless migration: multiCLASS Signo readers read your old 125 kHz prox cards while we roll out encrypted Seos — upgrade credentials at your own pace with no forklift replacement.
Controllers: HID Aero (X1100 and family) gives you a Mercury-compatible, open controller platform — no vendor lock-in. Call 1-866-625-1977 for an HID reader and credential assessment.
HID Access Control — Frequently Asked Questions
Do HID Signo and iCLASS SE readers support mobile credentials?
Yes — both are mobile-ready out of the box, supporting HID Mobile Access, Apple Wallet and Google Wallet alongside your existing cards.
Can HID readers work with our existing badges?
Yes — HID multi-technology readers read your current prox and smart cards while letting you add Seos and mobile credentials over time.
What is iCLASS Seos?
Seos is HID’s most secure, technology-independent credential platform — encrypted, privacy-protecting and the foundation for mobile access.
Is HID hardware proprietary?
No — HID Aero controllers are built on an open, Mercury-compatible platform, so you avoid vendor lock-in.

Certified HID Design, Installation and Support
Boston High Tech provides end-to-end HID services for commercial properties and organizations across Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey. We start with a site review and a clear discussion of users, operating requirements, existing systems, future growth and project constraints. Our team then develops a practical scope covering equipment, pathways, network needs, integration, testing and handoff.
What a complete project can include
- On-site assessment and review of existing infrastructure
- System design, equipment selection and written project scope
- Cabling, mounting, termination, configuration and integration
- Device-by-device testing, labeling and project documentation
- Administrator orientation, user training and support planning
Every proposal is tailored to the property. Reuse of existing wiring, readers, cameras, locks, network equipment or software is evaluated during discovery rather than assumed. Where another trade is required, we coordinate responsibilities with the client, general contractor, electrician, locksmith or IT team.
Our certified technology professionals support organizations across Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey from regional offices in Brighton, New York City and Skillman, with company headquarters in Charlotte. We keep private credential records, certificate numbers and individual certificate-holder information off the public website while maintaining the qualifications required for the work we perform.

Official HID software, firmware and support
Use the manufacturer links below for current software, firmware, release notes, manuals and technical resources. Boston High Tech links directly to official manufacturer portals and does not copy or host firmware files.
Before installing an update: verify the exact model, region, hardware revision, current version, required intermediate releases, licensing or support entitlement, backup and rollback plan, integrations and maintenance window. An incorrect firmware package or upgrade sequence can interrupt service, invalidate compatibility or prevent a downgrade. Coordinate updates for monitored, life-safety-adjacent or business-critical systems with the system administrator and an authorized specialist.
Some resources require a customer, dealer, certified-technician or active-support login. Cloud-managed products may update automatically and may not provide a public firmware file.
