iSTAR Ultra Controller

A powerful, network-ready door controller supporting up to 32 readers

iSTAR Ultra is a powerful, network-ready door controller built on the Linux platform that supports up to 32 readers. It manages both traditional hard-wired and wireless locks, all in the same controller.

  • 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.
