MAX BR1 Mini Core (HW3)
Fully Optimized for Telemetry
The Pepwave MAX BR1 Mini Core is a compact, security-optimized single-cellular LTE router specifically designed for telemetry and high-security applications. By eliminating Wi-Fi and GPS interfaces, it minimizes attack surfaces while delivering reliable 4G connectivity, full GPIO functionality for seamless telemetry device integration, and certifications for demanding environments (including UL Class 1 Division 2 for hazardous locations).
Certified safe for work
With UL and Class 1 Division 2 certifications, among many others, the BR1 Mini Core is ready to handle demanding setups.
High Level of Security Compliance
Designed with strict security compliance in mind, we’ve minimized the number of vulnerabilities by removing the device’s Wi-Fi & GPS components, making it great for networks that require a highly secure connection.
Full GPIO functionality
Seamlessly integrate telemetry devices into your network with the BR1 Mini Core’s built-in I/O functionality.
Wide Power Range
Supporting a wide operational power range (AC/DC), we aim to make it easy for our users to sync up all their devices with zero hassle.
