Description

The Peplink MAX BR1 Pro 5G, identified by MPN MAX-BR1-PRO-5GN-T-PRM, is a powerful mobile router designed for users requiring gigabit speeds and reliable connectivity. Integrated with a new generation multi-core CPU, this device delivers high performance, achieving speeds up to eight times faster than its predecessor, the original BR1 Classic. Key features include a robust WAN interface with one 10/100/1000/2500M Ethernet port and one embedded cellular modem with redundant SIM slots, supporting 5G and CAT-20 LTE data rates. Specifically, it boasts 5G downlink speeds up to 3.4 Gbps and uplink speeds up to 900 Mbps, with CAT-20 speeds reaching 1.6 Gbps downlink and 200 Mbps uplink. The router supports simultaneous dual-band (2.4GHz / 5GHz) Wi-Fi 6 with 2X2 MIMO for both Wi-Fi WAN and/or AP functionality. For wired connectivity, it includes two 10/100/1000M Ethernet LAN ports. This model is certified for US carriers (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, FirstNet) and supports an extensive array of 5G and LTE bands globally, making it a versatile choice for fixed or mobile deployments. The hardware includes four SMA cellular antenna connectors, two RP-SMA Wi-Fi antenna connectors, and one SMA GPS antenna connector, underscoring its readiness for advanced antenna systems. The compact and low-profile form factor, measuring 5.78 x 5.08 x 1.15 inches (146.8 x 129 x 29.3 mm) and weighing 1.5 pounds (680 grams), makes it 25% slimmer than the BR1 Classic, facilitating easier integration into various environments.

The MAX BR1 Pro 5G is supercharged with Peplink’s proprietary SpeedFusion VPN technology, offering a complete VPN solution with features like Hot Failover, Smoothing, and Bandwidth Bonding. The router supports a high router throughput of 1Gbps, with SpeedFusion throughput reaching 400Mbps without encryption and 200Mbps with 256-bit AES encryption. It is recommended for 1-150 users and includes integrated GPS for device location and fleet management via InControl 2. The device runs on Pepwave MAX Firmware, which provides comprehensive networking features such as NAT, IP Forwarding, Static Routes, Port Forwarding, and advanced QoS capabilities including individual bandwidth limits and application prioritization. Security is managed through a Stateful Firewall, DoS Prevention, and Web Blocking. Powering the unit is flexible, accepting AC input 100V-240V via an AC adapter, or 10V–30V DC input, with a nominal power consumption of 8W and a maximum of 19W. It operates reliably across a wide temperature range from -40° to 149°F (-40° to 65°C) and boasts certifications like FCC, CE, RoHS, E-Mark, EN61373 for shock and vibration resistance, EN50155 for railway applications, and EN45545-2 for fire protection. The package content typically includes the BR1 Pro 5G unit, a 12V2A Power Supply (ACW-632), four LTE/5G Antennas (ACW-235), two Dual Band Wi-Fi Antennas (ACW-341), and one GPS Active Antenna (ACW-232).

The extensive feature set of the Peplink MAX BR1 Pro 5G positions it as a resilient and high-speed connectivity solution for critical applications in mobile and fixed deployments. Its support for advanced cellular technologies, including NSA & SA Sub 6Ghz 5G bands, combined with robust VPN and security features, ensures unbreakable connections for applications such as video calls, POS systems, and fleet management. The inclusion of Wi-Fi 6 technology and the ability to convert a WAN port into a LAN port further enhances its flexibility within a network architecture. The router’s durability and certifications allow for deployment in demanding environments, notably in rail transport. It utilizes Nano-SIM (4FF) slots and supports Peplink eSIM and BYO eSIM (2 profiles), providing flexibility in carrier selection and network provisioning. This level of comprehensive functionality and rugged design makes the BR1 Pro 5G an essential component for high-availability networking.
