Three parts · one system

Reader, card and app.
One system for every door.

Most access systems are three vendors stapled together. Schonell is one: designed, built and supported in-house.

The Reader

Reader, controller and cloud terminal in a single 86 mm sealed unit. Stainless steel, IP65 and IK10, built for indoors and outdoors alike.

316L STAINLESS · IP65 · IK10

The Card

MIFARE DESFire EV3, the same chip class used in bank cards. Random UID makes it clone-proof, and it keeps working even when the network is down.

DESFIRE EV3 · CLONE-PROOF · OFFLINE

The App

Doors, gates and lifts live inside the Schonell app, the same app residents already use for bookings, billing and intercom calls.

What’s inside

Banking-grade security.
Zero on-site servers.

Everything that used to take three boxes and a wiring closet, sealed into one unit on the wall.

The hardware

One sealed unit, every door

Fewer parts, fewer points of failure.

Cloud-native

No on-site servers, no proprietary cabling. Manage every door from one panel.

Reader + controller

A single sealed unit replaces the reader, controller and panel.

Wi-Fi or Ethernet

Connects over Wi-Fi or wired Ethernet. Retrofit any building without trenching.

OTA for life

Security patches and features pushed automatically. The reader you install today improves every year.

The security

The same chip as your bank card

Singapore sovereign cloud, with nothing sent overseas.

EAL5+ secure element

AES-128 cryptography in the same chip class used by payment cards.

Clone-proof cards

Random UID on every DESFire EV3 card. Cards still work fully offline.

Singapore sovereign cloud

Every record stays on Singapore soil. PDPA compliant, with nothing sent overseas.

Lift & floor control

Floor-level lift restrictions and barrier gates, managed in the same system.

Why Schonell

Most access systems are
three vendors stapled together.

Reader from one company. Controller from another. Cloud from a third. When something breaks, nobody owns it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

No. The reader, controller and cloud terminal are combined into one sealed 86 mm unit, so there are no separate panels or servers to install or maintain.

Yes. Cards use MIFARE DESFire EV3 and continue to work offline, so doors keep opening for valid cards even without a network connection.

Each card carries an EAL5+ secure element with AES-128 cryptography, the same chip class used in payment cards, and a random UID that makes cards clone-proof.

In most cases, yes. Readers connect over Wi-Fi or wired Ethernet where available, so existing buildings can be retrofitted without trenching or proprietary cabling.

Yes. The reader is rated IP65 and IK10 in a 316L stainless-steel chassis, designed for both indoor and outdoor use, including gates and barriers.

All data is held in our Singapore sovereign cloud. The platform is PDPA compliant and no data is sent overseas.

Yes. Security patches and new features are pushed automatically over the air, so the reader you install today keeps improving every year.
