Software House GSTAR-GCM-2U iSTAR Ultra G2 GCM in 2U Rack Enclosure

The Software House GSTAR-GCM-2U is a 2U rack-mount General Controller Module (GCM) for the iSTAR Ultra G2 access control platform. Designed for enterprise and government security applications, this cyber-hardened network controller serves as the core of the iSTAR Ultra G2 system, providing centralized management for access control devices while supporting scalable expansion through additional Access Control Modules (ACMs).

The GSTAR-GCM-2U supports up to 32 readers when paired with compatible ACMs, IP-ACMs, or supported wireless lock technologies such as Aperio® and Schlage®. Built on a hardened Linux operating system with a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), it delivers advanced cybersecurity, encrypted communications, and reliable standalone operation if host communication is interrupted.

Features:

• A powerful cyber-hardened network door controller for up to 32 readers
• A hardened Linux embedded OS for improved security and scalability, with up to one million cardholders in local memory
• Advanced controller-to-controller communications for cluster-based anti-passback and I/O logic
• Trusted Execution Environment for advanced hardware-based cybersecurity protection
• Dual GigE network ports with IPv6, DHCP and 802.1X support, and a Power over Ethernet (PoE) module featuring PoE+ to power the GCM
• Supports OSDP Secure Channel for encrypted reader communications, as well as embedded High Assurance FICAM operation without third-party hardware
