Janam Technologies, a provider of mobile computers and contactless access solutions, has announced it has been acquired by HID, a supplier of identity solutions.

According to the companies, the acquisition expands the portfolio of products, solutions and services that they will deploy to customers seeking technology for capturing, using, sharing and managing information at the point of activity.

Janam will belong to HID’s Identification Technologies (IDT) Business Area and more specifically operate as an independent business segment within the Events & Mobility Solutions (EMS) Business Unit. As part of the transaction, HID will support Janam’s ongoing business in mobile computing solutions.
