Powerful OSDP door controllers
Industry-leading, OSDP-verified, network-ready door controllers complemented by module and power supply options
Sophisticated door control
The newest generation of iSTAR G2 controllers have been overhauled for greater resilience and security, with OSDP-verification for end-to-end encryption from readers to devices, FIPS 140-2 certification, TLS 1.3 authentication, and enterprise-grade, zero-trust cybersecurity standards. With the extended ability to service more doors per panel, with up to 8 readers and 1 million cardholders, they dramatically reduce costly real estate requirements. Plus, they're built on a cloud-friendly, open MQTT protocol to meet all open architecture requirements.

Cyber-hardened platform
The latest iSTAR controllers and complementary boards and modules provide next-level cyber resilience unsurpassed by any "open" architecture options on the market today.

Reliable
Ensure continuous operation with uninterrupted power supply options that provide instant notification of issues, minimizing downtime and maintaining security integrity around the clock.

Extreme scalability
Options cover everything from retrofits, upgrades and small spaces to new, large-scale installs. Various add-on modules accommodate specific security requirements across a range of facility types.
- A full range of door controller boards offer a choice of Software House “RM” protocol and OSDP mode for enhanced security options. This allows distributed control of an access control door for distances up to 4,000 ft. (1,200 m) from the iSTAR controller.
- Door control module circuit boards are available separately or in enclosures with integrated LifeSafety Power. Flexible wall and rack mount panel enclosure options allow you to maximize the available space. They create a ready-to-install system, with harnesses for panel power and lock control, and fault and tamper switches with pre-installed connectors for iSTAR boards.
- RM Boards provide a secure connection between readers and panels with the choice of Software House “RM” protocol or OSDP secure channel communications. They extend reader cable distance by up to 4,000 feet, allowing distributed control of an access control door while simplifying field wiring for more advanced door installations.
- IP-ACM v2 is a flexible, future-proof Ethernet single door IP Controller which supports OSDP. It provides a highly secure option to manage security while reducing wiring and installation costs.
- Ethernet door controller modules that support OSDP are installed near the doors are being controlled. They communicate securely over IP to iSTAR Ultra GCM, iSTAR Ultra SE GCM, and iSTAR Ultra LT using AES-256 encryption.
- IP-ACM v2 is a cost-effective IP access control module which connects one door and two readers to iSTAR over IP. In addition, IP-ACM v2 supports 801.1X and TLS 1.2 secure network protocols for added protection against cyber-attacks.
- iSTAR Edge is a powerful IP Edge access control device that’s compatible with C•CURE 9000. It powers all access control at the door to minimize installation costs.
- iSTAR Edge is a one-, two- or four-reader IP Edge device with embedded lock power management.
- iSTAR Edge provides localized decision-making and minimizes installation costs by controlling and powering all access devices at the door.
- iSTAR Ultra is a powerful, network-ready controller that supports up to 32 readers. Its powerful features meet the most demanding access control requirements for enterprise and government applications.
- Two iSTAR Ultra models are available. Ultra SE is an intelligent network-ready controller that supports up to 32 readers. It is ideal for retrofits, upgrades and small spaces. Ultra LT, an IP-ready door controller for up to 16 readers, is excellent for pure IP deployments and small sites.
- Rack- and wall-mount options offer flexibility, while a unique lock power management function eliminates the need for separate lock power interface boards. iSTAR Ultra features a hardened Linux kernel for its operating system, improving security and scalability.
- iSTAR Edge G2 is an OSDP-verified, cyber-hardened IP edge access control device, ideally suited to standalone edge applications. It provides reliable stand-alone physical access control for up to eight doors, with local database of up to one million cardholders.
- The iSTAR Edge G2 8 Reader Door Controller provides the highest security through OSDP. It drastically lowers costs for installation and start up where costly space is limited, and its wet lock outputs eliminate the need for additional power supplies.
- Built using a Trusted Execution Environment with advanced network security features, the iSTAR Edge G2 controllers support cyber resilience through OSDP Secure Channel, which provides encrypted two-way reader communications.
- iSTAR Ultra G2 Controllers are cyber-hardened network door controllers for up to 32 readers. iSTAR Ultra G2 is best suited to new, wired or wireless installls, while the iSTAR Ultra G2 SE shine in retrofits or upgrades where reduced space is available. They both use OSDP Secure Channel for encrypted reader communications with embedded PIV authentication.
- Built using a Trusted Execution Environment with advanced network security features, iSTAR Ultra G2 meets the most demanding access control requirements of enterprise and government applications.
- iSTAR Ultra G2 is ideal for areas that require many readers close to the panel.
- PSX Power Solutions provide clean, uninterrupted power to iSTAR door controllers. They’re available with space saving wall and rack mount panel enclosure options, as well as integrated LifeSafety Power.
- Network Managed PSX power systems integrate natively with the C•CURE 9000 security and event management system, which provides instant visibility for the PSX Power Solutions system and battery performance.
- LifeSafety Power provides AC, PoE or DC rackmount power management solutions, which are integrated into C•CURE 9000 for instant visibility of the PSX Power Solutions system and battery performance.
