The new Mercury MP Intelligent Controllers provide a bridge between today’s urgent security needs and tomorrow’s emerging realities. Featuring Secure world processing within a trusted execution environment and a future-ready, on-device application environment to drive advanced enterprise strategies with sophisticated programs and analytics adjacent to the door. With unmatched cybersecurity, robust reliability, and an open architecture, the MP controller infrastructure is ready for the challenges of today and well into the future.

The MP1501 is an edge-capable intelligent controller that is expandable up to eight downstream serial input/output modules or up to 16 MR62e network ready door controllers (for a total of 17 doors/openings). The feature-rich MP1501 provides OEMs with a small footprint, cost-effective dual card reader panel for controlling a single opening. Easy installation with Power-over-Ethernet Plus (PoE+) makes the high performance, Ethernet ready MP1501 a top choice for a single-door controller.

Built on the Mercury platform, the intelligent controller can connect to cloud or server-based hosts and can operate independently to perform access control functions. The development environment allows partners to enhance their solutions with custom applications; applications can be loaded directly onto a controller for scalable, modern integrations.

For partners seeking an empowering, comprehensive and open access control platform that is also reliable and cybersecure, the MP1501 is the clear solution. It delivers a complete security and access control solution, an innovative edge processing and development environment, interoperability and data security.
