The Peplink MAX BR1 Mini 5G is a compact industrial mobile router designed for applications requiring reliable 5G connectivity without the size and complexity of a larger enterprise router.
This version is the HW2 model with integrated WiFi 5. It supports global 5G Standalone and Non-Standalone Sub-6 GHz operation, with 4G LTE Cat 20 fallback.
Two physical Nano-SIM slots are provided. The router also supports Peplink eSIM, up to two BYO eSIM profiles, RemoteSIM through a SIM Injector and FusionSIM.
Integrated dual-band WiFi 5 operates simultaneously on 2.4 and 5 GHz using 2x2 MIMO.
With an active PrimeCare subscription or optional feature-pack licence, additional functions including Ethernet WAN, WiFi WAN, Hot Failover, WAN Smoothing and Bandwidth Bonding can be enabled.
The wide 10-30V DC input, ignition sensing and -40°C to +65°C operating temperature range make it suitable for vehicles, industrial M2M, IoT and remote installations.
