As global air travel continues to evolve, airports and airlines must also advance their technologies to keep pace with rising expectations and operational demands. The BG100 Speedgate, developed in partnership between HID and Assa Abloy, is not only a forward looking design but also a Red Dot award-winning innovation.
This recent collaboration between HID and Assa Abloy brings the BG100 Speedgate, a cutting-edge solution that integrates the HID Facepod and document reader with Assa Abloy’s Speedgate — is helping to transform the way passengers move through airports.
At the core of the BG100 Speedgate is the HID Facepod, an all-in-one facial recognition solution featuring an advanced camera system and algorithms, intuitive multi-touch screens and smart LED guidance. Together, this biometric Egate solution streamlines critical airport touchpoints — from pre-security checks and VIP lounge access to boarding and immigration — delivering a secure, frictionless and touchless experience for travellers.
This innovative BG100 Speedgate recently earned the prestigious Red Dot Design Award for its clean, functional and forward-thinking aesthetic.
According to HID, what sets the BG100 Speedgate apart is its blend of design and function. The Red Dot Design Award is a global symbol of excellence, recognising products that push the boundaries of design and innovation. With its minimalist profile, intuitive interface and robust biometric capabilities, the BG100 Speedgate redefines passenger processing — making it faster, safer and more seamless.
Beyond its elegant design and biometric precision, the BG100 Speedgate is engineered for unmatched adaptability. Its modular architecture allows for seamless integration with a wide range of peripherals, such as boarding pass printers, ID document readers and ticket scanners. This flexibility enables airports to customise the biometric Egate solution to meet their unique operational requirements. Whether it’s enhancing security protocols, improving passenger flow, or both, the BG100 Speedgate evolves with the demands of modern air travel
