Modern enterprise electronic access control systems are very complicated and functionally reach hardware and software complexes. Correct choice of such a system has to be based on deeper knowledge of identification means and methods, available architectures and topologies, communication infrastructure used, server, client stations and appropriate software usage specificity, as well as 3rd party integration. Course is intended to offer the participant a basic expertise on the mentioned topic.
