Market

For years, the application of such technologies is consistently growing and so is the market for its products and services. This development began in the early 1990. Already in this stage, Deister Electronic was among the 20 relevant players on the international level. Today, the branch is distinguished by an extraordinary growth of most diversified solutions and services, by an environment of brisk innovative activities and a focus on export. A typical example is the implementation of the Deister Electronic key management and control access system in the Centre for Technology and Development of

Technology

The variety of RFID application components comprises interrogators (also readers), tags (also labels), integrated circuits (also chips), antennas, transponders, converters, processors and the corresponding software system solutions. Their purpose is to detect and identify persons, vehicles, goods, keys and valuables automatically and without physical contact, in same cases biometrically, to capture information about them, to control their access and guide their further way. Deister Electronic systems are based upon the technology of

. Deister Electronic dates back from an outsourcing project of three graduates of the University of Hannover in 1977. The US and Canadian companies were established in the 1980s and have been run independently and successfully for over 20 years. In our days, this technological enterprise with a total staff of 240 employees, branches overseas – especially in the USA and Canada – as well as in Europe – especially France and United Kingdom – belongs to the typical German export orientated business.
