Identity technology provider HID has acquired inepro ID, adding contactless authentication products for printing and shared workplace equipment to its business.

Contactless authentication solutions provider inepro ID develops readers that support radio frequency identification and Bluetooth Low Energy technologies. Its products work with multiple credential technologies rather than requiring a single type.
