Mercury Security and HID have unveiled the next-generation Mercury MP Controllers, designed to offer flexibility and security for organizations of all sizes.

Mercury Security, a leading of OEM technology, and HID, a global pioneer in trusted identification and access control solutions, disclosed the next-generation Mercury MP Controllers, which are designed to provide more flexibility and security for organisations of all sizes.

As technology advances, access control systems require robust encryption and advanced threat detection. The new Mercury MP Controllers empower access control software providers and integrators to seamlessly combine a wide range of access control technologies, elevator control, building automation, IoT applications, and third-party solutions into a unified, centralized and fully robust infrastructure. This open approach provides the freedom to choose the right solution for specific customer requirements.

Taking this commitment a step further, the new intelligent controllers have enhanced security capabilities to secure sensitive data and defend against developing cyber threats. A strong cryptographic engine, together with a secure boot CPU, crypto chip, and data encryption, aims to provide proactive security against unauthorised access and assaults.

Steve Lucas, VP of OEM Sales at Mercury Security, said, “In today’s dynamic business environment, organisations demand access control solutions that are not only secure and reliable but also flexible enough to adapt to evolving needs.” “The new MP Controllers deliver on these critical requirements, empowering businesses to create robust, future-ready access control systems with increased ROI, scalability, and cybersecurity at their core.”

Flexibility: The freedom to design and upgrade systems without limiting software and hardware choices, and seamlessly integrate the latest technologies with no costly rip-and-replace projects. This flexibility extends to OEMs, allowing them to seamlessly integrate the controllers with both on-premises and cloud-based access control environments.

Scalability refers to the capacity to satisfy system architecture from one door to a complete organisation. Heightened ased Security: Support for physical and cybersecurity elements to help protect networks and data. Reliability is the piece of mind that comes from investing in dependable and trustworthy company gear.

The Mercury MP Controllers include powerful new features like a dual-footprint circuit design with alternate components for business continuity, a future-ready app development environment for expanded integrations, and the use of enhanced cybersecurity best practices to protect systems, such as ARM TrustZone.
