Latin America. Johnson Controls introduces the iSTAR Ultra LT Access Controller, a special edition of the iSTAR Ultra Access Controller that features a fully IP architecture and enterprise-grade features for small and medium-sized access control deployments.
The iSTAR Ultra LT centralizes access control decision processes and secures communications across the network, also enabling end users to use existing infrastructure and Power over Ethernet power to reduce costs. With a scalable architecture that supports up to eight readers and 500,000 cardholders, the iSTAR Ultra LT is ideal for businesses looking for a flexible access control system, compatible with future upgrades, and that can be expanded as needed.
The iSTAR Ultra LT control module includes the local access control database and makes all access decisions, centralizing access control management for operators. To further reduce costs, the iSTAR Ultra LT can be shared with multiple Ethernet gate modules. Advanced encryption and authentication ensure that communications between doors and controllers are completely secure. The iSTAR Ultra LT also includes a mobile application with BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) technology that simplifies the configuration and management of controllers and locks, reducing commissioning time, saving time and money.
"The iSTAR Ultra LT offers the best of the iSTAR Ultra product line to customers who need an access control system capable of meeting current and future security and business needs," explains Luis Delcampo, Market and Product Manager at Johnson Controls. "The enhancements in cybersecurity, IP architecture and broad scalability of the iSTAR Ultra LT are the essential functional building blocks for the future needs of our customers."
Like the iSTAR Ultra, the iSTAR Ultra LT combines support for traditional wired access control doors and wireless locks. The iSTAR Ultra LT is compatible with the ASSA ABLOY Aperio and Schlage NDE AD300 and AD400 wireless locks, offering greater flexibility and reducing installation costs (which can be further reduced if the controller's PoE Plus functions are used). The iSTAR Ultra includes 2 GB of memory and 16 GB of storage, as well as one connection between the host and the database for every eight doors.
End users can use the iSTAR Ultra LT with Software House's C•CURE 9000 security and event management platform.
