Galaxy

Galaxy Control Systems is a global leader in the access control industry. Galaxy is a product of Digital Systems Corporation, an award-winning defense contractor established in 1974 that developed a surveillance and tracking system for the U.S. military. The intensive research and development conducted in the Digital Systems Corporation produced many technological discoveries and breakthroughs, including one of the security industry’s first intelligent access control panels

The same results-driven culture that made Digital Systems a success is mirrored at Galaxy Control Systems today. All Galaxy access control products are designed for maximum flexibility and unsurpassed quality, and the same standards are held for the people behind Galaxy as well.
