MAX BR1 M2M
Specialized Cellular Router for M2M Communications
The Pepwave MAX BR1 M2M is a compact, rugged industrial-grade LTE cellular router purpose-built for Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and IoT applications. Featuring a durable 9-pin RS-232 serial connector, redundant SIM slots, and DIN-rail mounting, it delivers reliable 4G connectivity in harsh environments with remote cloud management — perfect for utility, remote monitoring, and automated deployments.
Redundant SIM Slots for Multiple Carriers
Redundant SIM slots with automatic switching for reliable network. This is particularly useful for remote deployments where connectivity to any given carrier is unreliable. You can also set the MAX M2M mobile router to automatically switch SIM cards when you’re in danger of exceeding a data cap.
Wide Temperature Range
Device has as a wide temperature range (-40° to +149°F / -40° to +65°C) and can be deployed in even the harshest environments.
Din-Rail Mountable
Install your BR1 M2M in minutes with just a screwdriver. It attaches directly to any DIN rail for quick and secure deployment in utility boxes and other locations.
Hot Failover
In case of a WAN failure, SpeedFusion Technology powers the MAX BR1 M2M for instant failover between cellular and Ethernet WAN.
9-pin serial connector
BR1 M2M also features a 9-pin serial connector for easy and durable M2M connectivity.
loT Ready
With the BR1 M2M you also get all the building blocks of SDN for the future Internet of Things: third party integration, API, and automation. As the IOT evolves, you can be confident your router will be ready.
Fast Setup & Cloud Management
The BR1 M2M has a straightforward and accessible interface. Anyone can get it up and running — no background in IT needed. Plus, the BR1 M2M cloud management capabilities make large-scale management a breeze. You can monitor and manage hundreds of devices on a single screen. Choose from on-premise or public cloud options.
