The US access product company HID Global has been selected to supply the US Department of Defense (DoD) Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) with more FARGO HDP5000-LC ID Card Printer/Encoders. Those products include customised additions for large government projects. The main use of the printer/encoder will be to support the DoD’s Common Access Card (CAC) programme, one of the largest ID printing schemes in North America. More than three million technology cards are produced annually.
The US Department of Defense has used HID’s High Definition Printing (HDP) technology for more than 10 years. It adopted the FARGO HDP5000-LC printers in 2007, and selected the printers for follow-on purchases in 2012 to complete the update of the remaining DMDC mobile and shipboard CAC personalisation systems. The HDP5000-LC is being sold and supported by system integrator Telos Corporation of Ashburn, Virginia.
What they say
Anthony Ball, senior vice president, Identity and Access Management with HID Global., said: “As a supplier to the US Department of Defense, HID Global is pleased to continue the business relationship we have fostered with the DoD and Telos, and we look forward to providing card personalization solutions to them for years to come. The fact that HID Global continues to be the de facto choice for the DoD’s printer program is a testament to the proven quality, reliability and performance of the FARGO HDP5000 and our commitment to delivering the highest quality products, solutions and support to the US Department of Defense and other government customers.” For more information, visit www.hidglobal.com.
