Next-Generation IP-Based Access Control Ecosystem
HID Aero A1000, A2000, and A4000 controllers with OSDP v2 reader support, AES-256 encryption, and cloud-ready architecture for Saudi enterprises.
HID Aero Controller Product Family
The HID Aero range scales from single-door edge controllers to enterprise multi-door panels - all sharing the same management software, firmware, and OSDP v2 security framework.
The flagship enterprise controller for multi-door installations. Supports 4 doors (8 OSDP v2 readers), PoE+ power, local event storage, and dual Ethernet ports for redundant network connectivity.
- 4 doors, 8 OSDP v2 or Wiegand reader ports
- 500,000 cardholder capacity
- Dual GbE ports - network redundancy
- PoE+ (802.3at) powered
- On-board 100,000 event transaction log
Cost-effective 2-door controller for medium-sized facilities. All the security and compatibility of the A4000 in a more compact form factor suited for retail, clinics, and SME offices.
- 2 doors, 4 reader ports (OSDP v2 / Wiegand)
- 500,000 cardholder capacity
- Single GbE with optional WiFi
- DIN-rail or wall mount options
- Compatible with A4000 enterprise network
Ultra-compact single-door IP controller that mounts directly in the door frame. Ideal for distributed campus deployments, remote buildings, and secure room-level control with minimal cabling infrastructure.
- 1 door, 2 reader ports
- Ultra-compact - door frame mountable
- PoE+ for single-cable installation
- Manages via same Aero management platform
- Ideal for remote sites and modular rollout
Next-Generation Security Architecture Built for Enterprise Saudi Arabia
HID Aero was engineered from the ground up for the security challenges of modern enterprise - eliminating the legacy vulnerabilities of Wiegand with end-to-end encryption, API-first integration, and cloud-native management.
- OSDP v2 Encrypted Reader Bus - AES-128 encrypted, mutually authenticated reader-to-controller communication. Eliminates Wiegand replay and eavesdropping attacks.
- REST API Architecture - Open API for integration with ERP, HR, building management, and custom enterprise applications without proprietary middleware.
- Cloud-Ready & On-Premises - Deploy fully on-premises with HID SAFE, hybrid, or fully cloud-managed via HID Origo. Flexible architecture for Saudi Arabia data sovereignty requirements.
- Offline Resilience - Controllers maintain full access control functionality during network outages with locally stored credentials and decision-making logic.
- TLS 1.3 Network Communications - All IP communications between controllers and management server are encrypted with TLS 1.3, meeting Saudi NCSC cybersecurity requirements.
- Legacy Wiegand Backward Compatibility - Retain existing reader infrastructure during phased upgrades - Aero supports both OSDP v2 and Wiegand on the same controller.
HID Aero's AES-256 data encryption, TLS 1.3 network communications, and role-based administration model align with Saudi Arabia's NCSC Essential Cybersecurity Controls - critical for government and critical infrastructure projects.
Manage credentials, doors, and access rules across all Saudi sites from a single cloud dashboard. Remote lockdown, instant credential revocation, and real-time event streaming - anywhere, any device.
Tektronix Technologies specialises in HID VertX-to-Aero migration across Saudi Arabia, ensuring zero-downtime transitions with phased rollouts that maintain existing reader infrastructure and cardholder databases.
