Description
The Peplink MAX BR1 Mini Core (MPN: MAX-BR1-MINI-LTE-E-T-M-PRM) is an industrial-grade, highly reliable mobile router designed for demanding setups requiring constant and secure connectivity without Wi-Fi or GPS features, minimizing the attack surface for enterprise deployments. This device offers exceptional value for money and high functionality, making it a powerful solution for various applications, particularly those requiring rugged, certified equipment. Its robust design is certified for vibration resistance and rolling stock (E Mark, EN 61373, EN 50155, EN 61000), ensuring performance in harsh environments with a wide operating temperature range of -40°F to 149°F (-40°C to 65°C). The router includes a single CAT-4 LTE modem, providing downlink speeds up to 150Mbps and uplink speeds up to 50Mbps. For connectivity, it features multiple 10/100M Ethernet Ports (one configurable as a WAN port, and one shared with a Console Port) and accepts flexible power inputs, including a DC Jack/Terminal Block (12V – 28V DC) and Passive PoE Input (12V – 28V DC). The compact unit measures approximately 4.6 x 4.2 x 1.4 inches (117 x 107 x 35 mm) and weighs 0.54 pounds (244 grams), making it suitable for deployment almost anywhere. Standard package contents typically include the MAX BR1 Mini Core unit, 2x LTE Antennas (ACW-235), and a 12V 2A 4pin Power Supply (ACW-632).
Operating on Peplink MAX Firmware, the BR1 Mini Core provides a comprehensive suite of software features essential for enterprise networking. These include a Stateful Firewall with DoS Prevention and Web Blocking for security, and a complete VPN solution utilizing SpeedFusion VPN technologies for site-to-site connectivity, Hot Failover, and 256-bit AES Encryption. Advanced Quality of Service (QoS) features allow for individual bandwidth limits and application prioritization, supporting crucial protocols like SIP, HTTPS, and custom application QoS. The router also supports various networking features such as NAT and IP Forwarding, Static Routes, Port Forwarding, and VLAN on LAN Support. Furthermore, the BR1 Mini Core is compatible with Peplink’s cloud-based endpoint management system, InControl 2, which allows for remote access to the device’s web admin, report generation, and configuration pushing for efficient and secure management from anywhere. An optional accessory (ACW-411) enables Out-of-Band Management (OOBM) support, providing console and Ethernet connectivity to attached devices and displaying their console interface securely over the cloud via InControl. The product’s commitment to reliability and security makes it a cornerstone for industrial-grade, mission-critical connectivity. The device also supports PrimeCare+, which can be purchased for up to four years, extending features like Hot Failover and WAN Activation, further solidifying its role as an ultimate plug-and-play solution.
