PCI Card (Half-Length)

Product No. 700-01-02


The Mercury Half-Length PCI Card instantly converts a PC to a Mercury IP communications station for one or two users. Using virtual or hardware panels, operators can speak and listen to up to 8 independent IP audio channels at once. This includes communications with other panels, radios, telephones and other third-party communications platforms located anywhere on the Mercury enterprise.

To minimize impact on the host PC, all audio processing is handled by the device and dedicated jacks and connectors are provided for peripherals like headsets, speakers and microphones, and push-to-talk switches.

For higher capacity communications, please see the Mercury Full-Length PCI card and Mercury Interface Unit.
