The Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 2110 has been observed with BeppoSAX between 0.5 and 150 keV .
The high energy instrument onboard , PDS , has succeeded in measuring for the first time the spectrum of this source in the 13-150 keV range .
The PDS spectrum , having a photon index \Gamma \simeq 1.86 is fully compatible with that expected from a Seyfert 1 nucleus .
In the framework of unified models , the harder ( \Gamma \simeq 1.67 ) 2–10 keV spectrum is well explained assuming the presence of a complex partial + total absorber ( N _ { H } \simeq 30 \times 10 ^ { 22 } cm ^ { -2 } \times \sim 25 % + N _ { H } \sim 4 \times 10 ^ { 22 } cm ^ { -2 } \times \sim 100 % ) .
The high column density of this complex absorber is consistent both with the FeK _ { \alpha } line strength and with the detection of an absorption edge at E \simeq 7.1 keV in the power-law spectrum .
