Various features in one device
Multi-functional technologies ensure that the PENTA Scanner BGR will meet all your requirements for airport use.

The image is captured under three different light sources (visible, infrared and optional UV light).
The boarding gate reader from DESKO is also equipped with modules for reading barcodes and magnetic strip cards. As a result, it is capable of recording data from boarding passes, passports, IDs, digital vaccination certificates, frequent flyer cards and other documents. Thanks to RFID and NFC modules available for optional integration, it can even read e-passports and e-tickets or corresponding employee IDs or customer cards.
