Description
The Peplink MAX BR1 Mini Core (MAX-BR1-MINI-LTEA-US-T-M-PRM) is engineered as a robust and highly secure single cellular mobile router, optimized for telemetry and industrial-grade connectivity where reliability and security are paramount. This device features an embedded CAT-7 modem, offering cellular data rates up to 300 Mbps downlink and 150 Mbps uplink, making it suitable for demanding applications in M2M (Machine-to-Machine) and IoT environments. Unlike other routers in the BR1 series, the Core model is specifically designed for high-security compliance by minimizing potential vulnerabilities through the removal of Wi-Fi and GPS components. This design choice makes it an excellent fit for networks requiring a highly secure connection in sensitive deployments. The router supports a wide range of LTE bands in North America, including support for major carriers like AT&T, FirstNet, T-Mobile, US Cellular, and Verizon, ensuring flexible deployment across various networks. Its rugged construction allows it to operate in extreme environments, with an operating temperature range of -40° to 65°C (-40° to 149°F).
Connectivity features include a WAN interface with 1x 10/100/1000M Ethernet port and the embedded cellular modem with redundant SIM slots (Nano-SIM/4FF, Peplink eSIM, BYO eSIM). It also provides 2x 10/100/1000M Ethernet LAN interfaces. The BR1 Mini Core is equipped with Peplink’s advanced SpeedFusion features when used with the appropriate feature pack, including Hot Failover, Smoothing, and Bandwidth Bonding, allowing for seamless and reliable connectivity. Without encryption, the PepVPN throughput is 80Mbps, and with 256-bit AES encryption, it achieves 60Mbps, supporting up to 2-5 SpeedFusion VPN Peers. The device has a nominal power consumption of 10W (max 16W) and accepts power input from 10V to 30V DC, making it efficient for remote installations. The physical dimensions are compact at 5.0 x 4.2 x 1.4 inches (125.7 x 107 x 35 mm), and it weighs 0.95 pounds (430 grams).
The Peplink MAX BR1 Mini Core supports a comprehensive suite of networking and security protocols. Key features include NAT and IP Forwarding, Stateful Firewall, DoS Prevention, and Web Blocking. It also includes Advanced QoS capabilities such as individual bandwidth limits and application prioritization. Management is simplified through the Web Administrative Interface, Command Line Interface, and InControl Cloud Management. Certifications include FCC, CE, RoHS, and UL/CUL (62368-1, 121201 Class I and Division 2), underscoring its suitability for industrial and commercial use. The product is packaged with the BR1 Mini Core unit, 2x LTE Antennas (ACW-235/ACW-342 depending on specific package), and a 12V 2A 4pin Power Supply (ACW-632), and is protected by a 1-Year Limited Warranty. This single-cellular router is the ideal solution for businesses needing secure, high-throughput, and robust mobile connectivity.
