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 MP2500 is a powerful intelligent controller with native network support and is scalable to 64 doors/openings. Built on the Mercury platform, the intelligent controller uses an on-board Ethernet port to connect to cloud or server based access control hosts. The intelligent controller performs access control, alarm management and scheduled operations — all in a single package.

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 MP2500 is the clear solution. It delivers a complete security and access control solution, an innovative edge processing and development environment, interoperability and data security.
