What Stoval Technologies Pte Ltd does

Stoval Technologies is a Singapore-based private company founded in 1995 that designs, manufactures, and supports IP-based contactless smart card and RFID hardware and software solutions for access control applications. The company's core technology is a proprietary reader platform (currently the PSSR series, including the PSSR100W, PSSR100WFKL, and PSSR100WKL models) and MIFARE-compatible contactless smart cards — a capability first conferred on Stoval by Philips Semiconductor in 1995, making it the first licensed MIFARE producer in Asia. All hardware and software intellectual property is owned outright by Stoval, and the firm operates a compact in-house structure covering R&D, engineering, production, quality control, and sales.

The revenue model combines hardware sales (PSSR readers, R100u, R100W, PS21, customized readers, MIFARE smart cards), one-time software licenses for the RFID technology platform, and customization/professional services for tailored reader deployments. Go-to-market is executed primarily through Singapore-based System Integrator partnerships, supplemented by direct end-user engagement; the customer base is concentrated in Singapore and spans government ministries and statutory boards (MOE, Parliament, MOH, MAS, GovTech, PA, MSF, PUB, MPA), large domestic enterprises (Changi Airport Group, ST Electronics, Marina Bay Sands), and tertiary education institutions (SMU, SUTD, ITE). Operationally the firm is small (5 employees), single-country, and reports self-collected metrics of 3,000+ end users, 100+ completed projects, and 7,800 support hours, with the MAR1115 reader line trusted for over 15 years before its retirement in favor of the PSSR series.
