 “We’ve noticed a significant variation of OSDP versions supported between access control panels and reader technologies,” says Felise of Suprema America. “Even a product that is completely compliant and verified by SIA with the latest OSDP protocols may be attached to a product that is using older commands that had been removed.”

 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.<ref>Rodney Bosh, ''Building Tomorrow’s Access Control Infrastructure Today With OSDP'' SDM (2024-04-08) https://www.sdmmag.com/articles/102988-building-tomorrows-access-control-infrastructure-today-with-osdp</ref>
+*The Business Case for Adopting OSDP
 OSDP was first developed by Mercury Security and HID Global in 2008, then later donated, free of intellectual property, to the Security Industry Association (SIA). The protocol emerged as a response to the limitations and vulnerabilities inherent in traditional access control communication protocols. Today under SIA’s guidance, OSDP represents a collaborative effort among industry leaders to establish a more secure and standardized method of communication between access control devices.
@@ Line 27: / Line 22: @@
 The need for a modernized protocol became increasingly apparent as legacy protocols like Wiegand struggled to keep pace with evolving security threats and technological advancements. With the support of industry stakeholders, SIA set out to create a protocol that not only addressed these shortcomings but also offered enhanced features such as bidirectional communication, encryption and advanced security measures.
 Thus, OSDP was born, providing security integrators and end users with a robust, interoperable and future-ready solution for access control systems, explains Tony Diodato, founder and CTO at Cypress Integration Solutions, Lapeer, Mich. Diodato has been active in efforts to develop OSDP since 2012. He has been co-chair of the SIA OSDP Working Group since 2018.

 “Like other legacy protocols, it leaves access control systems open to man-in-the-middle attacks. It also poses distance limitations and scalability constraints, and only allows one-way communication — preventing audio/visual control, configuration changes and other critical updates,” he says. “It also is not interoperable among access control systems.”
+ Not only can (OSDP-enabled) readers send data to the controllers, controllers can send data to the readers. As a result, whenever you have a firmware update, it can be handled remotely, pushing the update from the cloud out to the readers. — BRACH BENGTZEN, ProdataKey
 In contrast, Dageenakis explains, OSDP offers an easy upgrade path from legacy protocols to improvements including:

 Bengtzen adds, with OSPD integrators can do multi-drop or daisy chaining of readers, utilizing just a single reader port on a controller for up to four doors. “Each door maintains its individual identity. If you do that with a Weigand system, it sees all the doors as one,” he says.

-Key Considerations for Initial Planning Phase
+* Key Considerations for Initial Planning Phase
 The success of an OSDP deployment hinges on planning and foresight during the initial stages of implementation. As security integrators embark on the journey to adopt OSDP for access control systems, careful consideration of various factors becomes paramount. From assessing infrastructure readiness to defining security requirements and ensuring compatibility with existing systems, each step in the planning phase plays a crucial role in shaping the effectiveness and efficiency of the OSDP deployment.
@@ Line 83: / Line 72: @@
 He adds, the fact that OSDP is an evolving, “living standard” — similar to many others that streamline the development of connected devices — makes it a safer, more robust, future-proof option for governing physical access control systems.
 As Diodato explains, many OSDP implementations look the same as legacy Wiegand reader-to-panel wiring: two wires for power, two wires for reader signaling. However, unlike Wiegand, the signaling wires are twisted pair, which allow up to 4,000 feet between the control panel and reader. There are no discrete LED or buzzer wires. All functions are controlled over the twisted pair. Therefore it is important to ensure good quality wire that is approved for RS-485 data communication.
@@ Line 92: / Line 79: @@
 In addition to selecting devices that bear the OSDP Verified mark, Diodato advises that integrators consider how many readers the OSDP panel supports on a single OSDP port, as well as whether the system will be multi-drop or home-run, the method to configure device addresses and communication baud rate, and how secure channel is enabled.
+ OSDP is the only protocol that is secure and open for communication between readers and controllers and is also being widely adopted by manufacturers, including the industry-leading manufacturers for readers and controllers. — DAMON DAGEENAKIS, HID
