Focus on the latest STid innovation for
simultaneous vehicle and driver ID
Despite the many challenges last year presented for the industry,
2021 was a year of impressive success for STid with annual revenue
growth of 50%. The French company is starting 2022 with
the release of SPECTRE nano Reader, the smallest member of the
SPECTRE family, to improve the driver experience while securing
and eliminating vehicle access lines. Vincent Dupart, CEO
of STid, and Frederick Trujillo, Sales & Operations Manager in
STid, explain more.
How do you explain last year's
international success for STid?
Vincent Dupart: STid's success is based on our ability to combine
two contradictory needs: the requirement for flawless security
from security departments and the necessity for a seamless
user experience by removing identification restraints. With STid,
access control becomes instinctive and guarantees data protection.
Our access control solutions are future-proofed and can
easily adapt to evolution in customer needs.
Importantly, we promote open technology. We guarantee
organizations' independence and autonomous management
of their security. This freedom is vital for STid: our customers
are not locked into a solution or tied down by proprietary
technologies. This bold positioning entices and retains our customer
base.
Another STid strength: our capacity to offer uniformed endto-end
security. We ensure impeccable security between the card
and the reader (with MIFARE DESFire® EV2/EV3 technologies),
and between the reader and the controller/LPU with systems
capable of supporting OSDP and SSCP®1
protocols.
How does the recent SPECTRE nano release
contribute to STid's growth?
Frederick Trujillo: SPECTRE nano uses contactless technologies
to make car park access more intuitive and secure. How?
By simultaneously identifying both the vehicle and/or its driver.

It is truly a unique solution that currently has no equivalent in
the industry.
SPECTRE nano is a small sized UHF reader with all the usual
features that you expect from a STid product along with Bluetooth®
support. It is fully compatible with both our SPECTRE
UHF product line and our STid Mobile ID solution. It's a perfect
solution for entrances that require remote identification of
vehicles or people, like car parks, industrial sites, bus stations
and corporate campuses. Vehicles can be identified from several
meters away using a UHF windshield tag and drivers and
pedestrians can use the virtual access card that is stored on the
smartphone. Security managers can decide to identify both the
vehicle and the driver and only allow authorized combinations
to enter the facility, which is convenient and highly secure for
shared vehicles fleets or sensitive sites. This solution enables a
more fluid, seamless access control process for entry and exit
combined with an instinctive user experience without compromising
security requirements.
How is SPECTRE nano a valuable asset
in the protection against unauthorized
intrusion of the secured perimeter?
Frederick Trujillo: Incidents related to unauthorized access often
are a result of the human factor. If you secure a building, site or
perimeter, one can procure and deploy the most sophisticated
security measures and equipment, but in the end people will
need to be able to use and to manage the systems intuitively and
it should never interfere with their ability to perform their job
or activity of choice. That is why we spend so many resources on
features in our products that support their instinctive use. Carrying
and applying STid technology should feel intuitive, natural
and safe. No hassle. And, of course, without any compromise on
security levels. SPECTRE nano is a perfect example of translating
our vision on security technology into the design guidelines and
the final product we are now bringing to market.
