As 2025 comes to a close, we would like to take a moment to reflect on this year's partnerships, events, and highlights. Most importantly, we would like to say thank you to all the customers, partners (new and old), and team members who made the year what it was.
2025: the Year of the Passkey
Tx Systems is proud to carry the widest variety of passkey options on the market. We only distribute the most reputable solutions that are backed by strong teams we personally trust. 2025 was a huge year for the acceptance and implementation of passkey technology. Now compatible with Google, Apple, and Microsoft accounts, passkeys are becoming more mainstream. Our technical blog is a fantastic source of information on passkey technology.

HID: Partnership and New Products
Our decades-long partnership with HID Global is as strong as ever. We would like to specifically thank the Identity and Access Management team for the great collaborations in 2025. This was an exciting year for us all with HID releasing two new products that we are excited to include in our HID line.
The first release was the new Crescendo® Card 4000. This card streamlines security by combining both digital and physical access into a single corporate badge. Read more about this cutting-edge card in our blog post titled “Announcing the Crescendo® Card 4000”.
HID’s second, and maybe most, exciting release we want to highlight is the
OMNIKEY® SE Plug, notable for its incredibly small size! Read the article we wrote “Introducing Innovation: the OMNIKEY® SE Plug” to learn all about this new and powerful product.
Hirsch: Partnership and Looking Ahead
This year, we celebrated the release of the FIPS 140-3 Fido 2 Card and Tri-Tech FIDO2 Smart Card (FIDO2, PKI, and Proximity, as well as Desfire EV3). These products bring added layers of security and usability to the market.
Tx Systems is also working on some exciting developments with Velocity Software and beginning to explore CIRRUS (cloud hosted physical access software). There are lots of great developments in our partnership with Hirsch slated for 2026!
Stay tuned for updates on our comprehensive Demo lab that features streamlined card provisioning for multifactor authentication, physical access, visitor management and card printing– all in one seamless workflow!
Partnership with Versasec: Hou.Sec.Con and Beyond
September 30, 2025 - Tx Systems and Versasec attend HOU.SEC.CON together. At booth #210, our forces combined to demo hardware and software solutions.
