Some aspects of the security and control technologies are unleash skepticism, critic and discussion, so for instance, unknown risks for organisms by electromagnetic radiation or possible perturbation of the functioning of medical equipment by RFID labels.

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 Renault. 700 enterprises in 43 countries are members of Association of Automatic Identification and Mobility AIM Global, amongst them several institutes of the Fraunhofer Society, Canon Production Printing, Siemens and Deister Electronic.
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 electromagnetic waves, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), biometrics and Bluetooth technology. They operate within the range from long waves to ultra high frequency, that is up to three Gigahertz (GHz). Recent innovations are mini readers in computer mice, metallic and textile ultra high frequence transponder.
