Overview
Overview
Antenna Max Duo is an 11-in-1 enclosure with eight cellular elements, two dual-band Wi-Fi elements and an active GPS antenna. It accepts a BR2 Pro dual-modem router, or two routers such as 2x BR1 Pro 5G or a BR1 Mini 5G plus BR1 Pro 5G using Splitter MAX.
Running two modems from one enclosure enables bonding and smart routing between both links (for example via Synergy Mode) without long coax runs. The UV-stable, IP67 housing mounts on a pole, a surface or a standard third-party maritime VSAT dome mount.
Key highlights
