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 MP1502 supports 2-4 card readers for controlling two connected doors, which can expand to up to 64 doors/openings. It also supports keypads, biometric readers, OSDP, Wiegand, clock and data, magnetic stripe, F/2F and supervised F/2F reader technologies. With enhanced processing, memory and component continuity, the MP1502 includes improved cybersecurity measures like secure boot, TLS 1.3, and FIPS 140-3 use of OpenSSL. System configuration and setup are provided through Mercury OEM partner software applications.

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 MP1502 is the clear solution. It delivers a complete security and access control solution, an innovative edge processing and development environment, interoperability and data security.
