Mercury5 is fully compatible with Mercury4 interfaces and deployments, and supports the same high levels of network, security, developer and other functionality, including fully optimized support for EPC Generation 1 Class 1 and Class 0 and ISO 18000-6B, as well as EPC Generation 2. Like its predecessor Mercury4, the new Mercury5 fully supports Dense Reader Mode. But it goes well beyond DRM to ignore all interference - not just interference from other DRM-compliant readers. As a result, Mercury5 outperforms DRM-only readers anywhere there are multiple sources of interference. This is why it gives more 100% reads more often.

Mercury4

Mercury4 is more than a multi-protocol RFID reader. It uses advanced Software Defined Radio technology to be able to read any tag. Out of the box, Mercury4 can read all variants of EPC Class 1 and 0 tags, as well as ISO 18000-6B and UCODE EPC 1.19 tags simultaneously, without any loss in performance. Mercury4 can process data as well as capture it, via a user programmable, fully functional Linux operating system. Information can be filtered, managed and even acted upon right at the edge of the network. You can program business rules right into the reader, so local operations, like diverting conveyors, sounding alarms or controlling gates, can take place instantly. With so much on-board intelligence, Mercury4 doesn't just read tags - it reacts in real-time.
