Public Institutions
Simply more Security with DESKO
Access to municipal public facilities is regulated by special legal provisions in addition to general provisions. For example, all residents of a municipality are entitled to use the public facilities of their municipality within the limits of applicable law.
In public buildings, access to the facility is regulated by the house rules. Anyone is allowed to enter the building. However, the property owner can also arrange access controls as part of these house rules and thus be more selective about visitors.
This is why educational institutions such as schools, preschools and universities, as well as public authorities and administrations, need user-friendly, secure access control solutions to protect public facilities from unauthorized third-party access. We offer added security with innovative products for access control and identity verification. Whether electronic access control solutions or state-of-the-art applications for optimized visitor management—our industry-specific devices and security software solutions can be fully tailored to your requirements and feature premium quality “Made in Germany”.

The issue of security plays an important role in public institutions. Each institution has its own expectations and specifications as to how and to what extent security solutions can be implemented.
Educational Institutions
Public educational institutions include:
- preschools and day care centers
- schools
- universities
- colleges
- adult education institutions, such as community colleges
In addition, there are institutions with an indirect educational mission, such as:
- libraries
- museums
Greater security can be applied to two specific areas of application in educational institutions: electronic access control and digital visitor management.
Access Control: Determine who gets access
Do you want to ensure that only authorized individuals can access the school building or preschool to drop off and pick up children? Or do you want to ensure that only visitors with a membership or identification card can enter the library? DESKO products offer intelligent solutions for access control. Our broad product portfolio of scanners and swipe readers is equipped with innovative functions for capturing stored data such as on transponders, ID cards with magnetic strips, and smart cards. If desired, verification can even be made contactless by using RFID or NFC modules. This facilitates and accelerates secure access control and gives you more security and better service.
Visitor Registration: Keep an Overview
How many visitors are currently in the museum? Have all the children already arrived to preschool? Which students were absent today? Have all library guests and staff checked out yet? Our card readers and scanners are compatible with special software solutions that enable data transfer and data evaluation. For example, you can create attendance lists, easily transfer the collected data to registration forms, and much more. This speeds up many processes and simplifies your everyday work.
Public Administrations and Archives
Administrations and their archives, some of which contain confidential documents, also rely on intelligent security concepts:
- Access Control in Buildings: DESKO products provide convenient and flexible control of admission. Equip your employees with ID cards and use verification devices at the entrance to ensure that only people with access authorization enter the building or protected areas. All others are automatically denied access, for example, until they identify themselves to an employee and register in person.
- Visitor Registration: In addition to active access control, visitor registration also plays an important role, especially in archives. Use the combination of DESKO verification device and software application. The collected data is transferred to the application on your PC and can be used for further analyses and attendance lists. This optimizes and accelerates your work processes and offers your visitors better service.
