MAX BR1 Mini 5G
Affordable, Long-lasting 5G for Mass Deployments
The Peplink MAX BR1 Mini 5G is an affordable, compact, rugged 5G mobile router optimized for mass deployments, IoT, and remote connectivity.
The MAX BR1 Mini 5G delivers high-speed 5G (NSA & SA) with global band support in a fanless, ventless metal enclosure certified for shock and vibration resistance. It features a single embedded 5G modem with redundant SIM slots (Nano-SIM or eSIM/BYO eSIM), optional second Ethernet WAN (via license/PrimeCare), and Wi-Fi 5 on select models. It supports SpeedFusion VPN for hot failover, smoothing, and bonding (with add-on), InControl 2 cloud management, InTouch remote access, and advanced features like QoS, firewall, and captive portal. Ideal for simplifying networks, reducing costs, and providing reliable 5G/LTE fallback in fixed or mobile setups. Throughput up to 300 Mbps router level.
