The STid Architect® One (ARC1S) is a high-security RFID mullion reader designed specifically for space-restricted environments where security cannot be compromised. With an ultra-slim 42mm profile, it is the premier choice for mounting on narrow aluminum door frames, lift panels, or sliding door tracks.
This “Secure Read-Only” model is configured for maximum data integrity, utilizing an EAL5+ certified crypto-processor to provide hardware-based protection for sensitive encryption keys and data. Unlike standard readers, the ARC1S is optimized for secure communication with encrypted sectors (such as MIFARE® DESFire® EV3), preventing card cloning and unauthorized access. Built for longevity, it features an IK10 vandal-proof casing and IP65 weatherproofing. It also includes STid’s patented accelerometer-based tamper detection, which can be set to automatically delete security keys if the reader is forcibly removed from its mounting.
