MAX BR1 IP55
IP55 Outdoor 4G LTE Router
The Pepwave MAX BR1 IP55 is a rugged, IP55-rated outdoor/indoor LTE router engineered for harsh environments, delivering reliable 4G connectivity with automatic failover and built-in directional MIMO antennas. Its waterproof, dust-protected metal enclosure and integrated 3-port switch make it perfect for industrial sites, emergency response, remote monitoring, and heavy-duty applications.
Directional or Omni Antennas
The BR1 IP55’s built-in Directional and Omni-directional Wi-Fi antennas, which are software selectable. So, it’s easy to optimize antenna performance at any time.
Built-in PoE and 3-Port Switch
The BR1 IP55 includes built-in PoE input and a 3-port LAN switch to reduce clutter and the need for extra equipment. 802.3at PoE+ output is optional add-on, so one wire is all you need for both connectivity and power you can share with security cameras and other devices.
Embedded 802.11ac Wi-Fi
The MAX BR1 IP-55 comes equipped with integrated 802.11ac Wi-Fi AP.
Waterproof IP55 Enclosure
Deploy the BR1 IP55 router with confidence in harsh indoor and outdoor environments. Its waterproof IP55 enclosure stands up to dust, vibration, and inclement weather, making it a great choice for industrial, emergency, and other heavy-duty applications.
- Harsh-Environment Durability — IP55 waterproof/dust-protected design withstands extreme weather, vibration, and temperature (-40°C to +65°C).
- Embedded LTE Modem — CAT-4 or CAT-6 variants (up to 300 Mbps DL / 50 Mbps UL in CAT-6) with 2x SIM slots for redundancy and failover.
- Built-in Directional Antennas — MIMO antennas (software-selectable) + external SMA connectors for optimal signal in challenging locations.
- Integrated 3-Port Gigabit Switch — Reduces cabling; includes PoE+ output (802.3at, up to 25W) on LAN1 to power cameras, sensors, or devices.
- Unbreakable Connectivity — Intelligent failover, load balancing, and PepVPN/SpeedFusion support (license upgrade) for bonded, resilient links.
- Wi-Fi Capability — Built-in 802.11ac Wave 2 (dual-band) usable as Wi-Fi WAN or AP (supports 1–60 users).
- Advanced Networking — Stateful firewall, DoS prevention, QoS, VLAN, NAT, port forwarding, dynamic DNS, and captive portal.
- VPN & Security — PepVPN/SpeedFusion, IPsec, 256-bit AES encryption, web filtering, and blacklist.
- Cloud Management — Full remote control via InControl platform for monitoring, configuration, and alerts.
- Power Flexibility — 56V passive PoE input (injector included), wide DC input, low consumption (typical 11W).
Ideal For
