Cypress OSDP-Wiegand Converter Attains SIA OSDP Certification
The Cypress OSM-1000 OSDP-Wiegand converter has attained certification by the Security Industry Association's OSDP Verified program. The OSDP Verified mark validates that a device conforms to the SIA Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) standard and its related performance profiles.
"For nearly 40 years, we have been wrestling with ambiguity over the term Wiegand, as it pertains to access card readers and panels,” said Tony Diodato, Cypress founder and chief technology officer. “Now the installer can finally see the OSDP Verified moniker, and know the device has met independent conformance testing. For me, personally, this is a goal I wanted to see completed. This is the opposite of all that ambiguity; it is a significant accomplishment for the industry."
