Overview
Overview
The Peplink Balance 1350 EC is an enterprise-class router engineered to support large-scale deployments — networks with thousands of users, mission-critical applications, and remote branches that need centralised control. Its configurable SFP+ and Ethernet ports (SFP+ 1–8, Ethernet WAN 1–4, Ethernet LAN 1–4 can all be reassigned as WAN or LAN via the web admin) give unmatched flexibility for bandwidth aggregation and load balancing.
A 512GB SSD enables onboard edge computing — running KVM and Docker for local data processing, plus prefetch and off-peak scheduled downloads to maximise network efficiency. This model is quote-only — pricing depends on configuration, licensing, and deployment scale, so get in touch with a specialist for a tailored quote.
Key highlights
- 25 Gbps router throughput
- Up to 8x 10G SFP+ fibre ports + 8x Gigabit Ethernet WAN/LAN ports (configurable)
- 512GB SSD — edge computing with Docker and KVM support
- Dual hot-swap power supplies — no single point of power failure
- Supports up to 10,000 users simultaneously
- Up to 500 access points managed centrally
- 1,000 SpeedFusion VPN peers
- InControl 2 centralised management (first year included with PrimeCare)
Recommended for
- Large enterprise & datacenter deployments — thousands of users, mission-critical applications, centralised branch control
- MSPs — use as the heart of client-facing infrastructure: SD-WAN, remote monitoring, edge compute hosting, and secure VPN tunnels from one device
- High-availability sites — dual hot-swappable PSUs mean continuous power even if one supply fails
- Edge computing use cases — run Docker containers or KVM virtual machines directly on the router, reducing latency by processing data locally
Performance
Throughput
The Balance 1350 EC delivers up to 25 Gbps of raw routing throughput, with 2 Gbps SpeedFusion VPN throughput both with and without 256-bit AES encryption — enough headroom for critical applications like VoIP and video streaming at scale.
