- Integrates with: ThingMagic xPRESS Sensor Hub
- Functionality: Wireless LAN for RFID reader system
- Features: 32-bit pARC processor, TCP/IP stack, real-time clock
The Mercury xPRESS Sensor Hub is a flexible development platform designed to enable customers to rapidly create cost effective finished reader products. The XP6e xPRESS combines a microcontroller-based motherboard with the ThingMagic Mercury6e RFID module and an integrated software development environment built on ThingMagic's Mercury C API. The Mercury xPRESS acts as a "Sensor Hub" for a range of transport interfaces and communication plug-ins in a single platform. With the xPress Sensor Hub, the process of building RFID readers has never been easier.
