The transition from traditional Wiegand communication protocols to the more advanced Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) represents a critical step forward for security integrators and end-user organizations alike. Wiegand, a longstanding access control standard in the industry, has served its purpose admirably over the years but is increasingly being surpassed by the capabilities offered by OSDP.

This transition marks not just a shift in communication protocols but a leap toward enhanced security, improved interoperability and greater reliability in access control systems. Ahead, subject matter experts from the manufacturing community help outline a broad roadmap for security integrators looking to navigate this transition smoothly, ensuring a seamless adoption of OSDP while maximizing the benefits it brings to modern access control environments.
