This device future-proofs your network with the latest 5G (NSA & SA) and LTE technologies, supporting a single SKU for global deployments and an extensive list of compatible bands (including 5G Sub 6Ghz bands like n1, n2, n3, n5, n7, n8, n12, n13, n14, n18, n20, n25, n26, n28, n29, n30, n38, n40, n41, n48, n66, n70, n71, n75, n76, n77, n78, n79). It comes equipped with a 1x 5G Embedded Modem and redundant SIM slots, supporting Nano-SIM (4FF), Peplink eSIM, BYO eSIM (2 profiles), Remote SIM from SIM Injector, and FusionSIM, offering maximum flexibility in connectivity. The router features a throughput of up to 300 Mbps and robust cellular data rates of up to 3.4 Gbps downlink and 900 Mbps uplink (5G), or 1.6 Gbps downlink and 200 Mbps uplink (CAT-20). The hardware is built within a rugged metal case with a fanless, ventless design, certified for shock and vibration resistance, ensuring deployment reliability even in harsh conditions. It supports a power input range of 10V – 30V DC via the Power Port, or via AC Adapter (100V–240V AC / 12V DC Output), and can also be powered by Power over Ethernet (802.3at). Power consumption is nominal 13W and max 18W. Its compact dimensions are 5.0 x 4.2 x 1.4 inches (125.7 x 107 x 35 mm), and it weighs 0.94 pounds (425 grams), operating within a wide temperature range of -40°C to 65°C (-40°F to 149°F).
Connectivity features include a 1x 10/100/1000M Ethernet WAN/LAN port and up to 3x 10/100/1000M Ethernet LAN ports, alongside simultaneous Dual-Band (2.4GHz / 5GHz) Wi-Fi 5 with 2X2 MIMO. The device supports various WAN technologies, including Ethernet WAN, Wi-Fi WAN, and the embedded cellular modem, providing multiple redundant options to ensure connection stability and up to 300Mbps throughput to connected Ethernet devices. The BR1 Mini is also designed for remote operation and management via Peplink’s InControl 2, a cloud-based endpoint management system, and Peplink InTouch for local device management and access to connected devices like sensors and cameras. Security is maintained through a Stateful Firewall and DoS Prevention, while advanced networking features include support for PPPoE, Static IP, DHCP, VLAN, and various QoS controls. It comes with a 1-Year Limited Warranty and is certified by bodies like the FCC, CE, RoHS, and includes specialized certifications such as EN 45545-2 for Railway applications – Fire protection, and US Carrier Certifications (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, FirstNet).
The MAX-BR1-MINI-5GN-T-PRM (With Wi-Fi) package content typically includes 1x BR1 Mini 5G (HW2), 4x LTE/5G Antennas (ACW-235), 2x Dual Band Wi-Fi Antennas (ACW-342), and 1x 12V 2A 4pin Power Supply (ACW-632). It is highly optimized for Peplink’s SpeedFusion technologies, which may be enabled via a PrimeCare subscription or an optional feature pack (MAX-BR1-MINI-LC-FP). Key SpeedFusion features include Hot Failover, Smoothing, and Bandwidth Bonding, which significantly enhance connectivity reliability and performance for mission-critical applications. This router is recommended for 1-60 users and serves as an ideal solution for mass deployments requiring affordable, high-speed 5G connectivity with industrial-grade resilience and comprehensive management capabilities.
