Peplink MAX BR2 Rugged Dual-Cellular Router | 2x CAT-4 Modems | North America Region | MAX-BR2-LTE-US-T-PRM

Description

The Peplink MAX BR2, identified by the MPN MAX-BR2-LTE-US-T-PRM, is a rugged, dual-cellular router engineered for demanding mobile and remote applications where unbreakable connectivity is essential. This router features dual embedded CAT-4 LTE modems specifically configured for North American carriers, including certifications for AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and FirstNet, ensuring reliable service across major US networks. The core of its design centers on maintaining seamless, high-availability internet access through Peplink’s proprietary SpeedFusion VPN technology, which allows for hot failover and load balancing across the dual cellular connections and external WAN options (1x 10/100/1000M Ethernet WAN and USB WAN). The robust, fanless metal enclosure and wide operating temperature range of -40°F to 149°F (-40°C to 65°C) make it perfectly suited for challenging industrial and vehicle deployments. Power flexibility is a key feature, supporting input via a Micro-Fit connector compatible with AC Adapter (12V DC output from 100V–240V AC input), Terminal Block (12V – 30V DC) for mobile deployment, and Power over Ethernet (802.3at PoE IN), accommodating various power sources without complication. The router delivers a robust 300Mbps router throughput and is recommended for 1-60 users, supporting cellular data rates of up to 150 Mbps downlink and 50 Mbps uplink per modem.

Beyond its physical resilience and dual cellular capabilities, the MAX BR2 offers a comprehensive set of networking and management features. It includes four 10/100/1000M Ethernet LAN ports and simultaneous dual-band Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) with 2×2 MIMO for local connectivity. Security and network control are managed via Peplink MAX Firmware, which includes a Stateful Firewall, DoS Prevention, Web Blocking, and support for various VPN solutions like SpeedFusion VPN with 256-bit AES Encryption and IPsec VPN. The device is also equipped with integrated GPS capabilities, providing device location, map location tracking, and fleet management features through InControl 2 Cloud Management. The remote SIM configuration and built-in eSIM options further enhance its suitability for remote and industrial applications by enabling zero-truck-roll provisioning and management, drastically simplifying maintenance and deployment logistics. The physical dimensions of the router are compact at 6.89 x 5.12 x 1.61 inches (175mm x 130mm x 41mm), weighing 2.43 pounds (1.1 kg), and the package includes a full antenna set: four LTE Antennas (ACW-237), two Dual Band Wi-Fi Antennas (ACW-342), and one GPS Active Antenna (ACW-232), along with a 12V 2A 4-pin Power Supply. The extensive feature set and certifications confirm the MAX BR2 as an excellent choice for mission-critical mobile and fixed deployments requiring unparalleled connection reliability and comprehensive network management tools.

The MAX-BR2-LTE-US-T-PRM model specifically supports 4G LTE Bands B2, B4, B5, B12, B13, and B14, covering the primary frequencies used by North American carriers. The device offers extensive control over bandwidth and network traffic, supporting multiple outbound policy algorithms for load balancing (e.g., Weighted Balance, Priority, Overflow) and advanced Quality of Service (QoS) features like individual bandwidth limits and application prioritization for SIP, HTTPS, and VPN traffic. Device management is streamlined via a Web Administrative Interface, Command Line Interface, and InControl 2 Cloud Management, which provides remote monitoring, configuration, and diagnostics, including email notifications and detailed bandwidth usage statistics. Its robust construction and redundant cellular connections make the Peplink MAX BR2 a powerful and reliable solution for ensuring business continuity in highly mobile or harsh environments.
