Award-winning airport eGate system by HID and ASSA ABLOY, Red Dot Design Award winner 2025.

Award-Winning Design for Modern Travel: Redefine the Airport Experience With Biometric eGates

In a groundbreaking leap toward the future of air travel, the recent collaboration between HID and ASSA ABLOY — the BG100 Speedgate, a cutting-edge solution that integrates the HID® Facepod™ and document reader with ASSA ABLOY’s Speedgate — is transforming 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 travelers.

This innovative BG100 Speedgate recently earned the prestigious Red Dot Design Award for its clean, functional and forward-thinking aesthetic.

Where Innovation Meets Elegance

What sets the BG100 Speedgate apart is its perfect blend of design and function. The Red Dot Design Award is a global symbol of excellence, recognizing products that push the boundaries of design and innovation. This BG100 Speedgate does just that. With its minimalist profile, intuitive interface and robust biometric capabilities, it redefines what’s possible in passenger processing — making it faster, safer and more seamless.

Built for Versatility

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 customize 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.

A New Standard in Passenger Processing

This award-winning BG100 Speedgate is more than just a technological upgrade — it’s a vision for the future of travel. By combining cutting-edge biometric innovation with design excellence, HID and ASSA ABLOY are setting a new benchmark for efficiency, security and user experience in airports around the world.
