Mercury Security introduce its new family of MR Series 3 serial input/output (SIO) modules that are said to extend integration capabilities, enhance cybersecurity and provide seamless upgrades for existing Mercury-based deployments.
The next-generation SIO modules are built on the Authentic Mercury open platform and provide OEMs, channel partners and end customers the flexibility to choose the controller configuration that best fits their needs, according to the company.
The modules feature an embedded crypto memory chip that provides a secured layer of encryption to onboard sensitive data. They also support OSDP and Secure Channel Protocol for enhanced connectivity, device management and extended applications such as biometric-focused applications.
In addition, support for the federal government profile (FICAM) makes it possible to expand the controller architecture and streamline the implementation of government systems.
Mercury says partners and end customers can benefit from the modules in new access control systems or they can be used for seamless plug-and-play upgrades from the company’s existing MR series controllers.
The product family includes four serial SIO modules that enable system expansion of Authentic Mercury intelligent controllers as part of Mercury’s distributed architecture.
