Card-Connected Access Control

A breakthrough new electronic locking system that integrates seamlessly with PACS to provide electronic access control at a fraction of the cost of traditional wired doors

Card-Connected™ access control uses strong cryptography to extend central access control to standalone doors and mobile locks, at a fraction of the cost of wired doors. Within a CoreStreet-Enabled™ access control system, standalone electronic locks and physical access control systems communicate by reading and writing digitally signed data (privileges and logs) to and from smart cards. In this way, cardholders become an extension of the physical access network, where cards, instead of wires, carry information to and from the standalone locks.

Organizations Worldwide: Benefit From Card-Connected™ Solutions

Card-Connected solutions are available for use with Lenel OnGuard. If you have or plan to upgrade to Lenel OnGuard, adding Card-Connected locks to your facilities or remote sites is simple:

  • Install the Lenel certified CoreStreet Card-Connected™ CHIP for Lenel (PDF)
  • Install one or more smart card readers with a CoreStreet Card-Connected™ C5 (PDF) at frequently used entry points
  • Issue MIFARE or DESFire smart cards to cardholders that will access Card-Connected™ locks
And you are ready to install Card-Connected™ locks on any door.

If you are currently using proximity (125 kHz) cards for access control, smart card readers are available to read both proximity and smart cards. This eases the transition to smart cards and supports organizations that plan to maintain a card population with both card types.
