Overview
Overview
The Peplink Balance 310X 5G is an enterprise-grade SD-WAN router built for medium and large branch offices, distributed networks, and mission-critical deployments requiring resilient, high-speed connectivity. With all-Gigabit Ethernet ports (2x WAN, 9x LAN) and a built-in Global 5G modem, it delivers 2.5 Gbps of routing throughput while supporting up to 500 users.
The embedded 5G/CAT-20 modem supports LTE fallback for continued connectivity where 5G coverage is unavailable, and integrates with Peplink InControl 2 for centralised remote configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting across multiple sites.
Key highlights
- 2.5 Gbps router throughput — all-Gigabit Ethernet ports
- 2x GE WAN ports + 9x GE LAN ports
- 1x built-in 5G modem (Global) with LTE fallback
- Supports up to 500 users
- SpeedFusion Bonding across wired and cellular WAN
- Fanless, rugged industrial-grade design
- InControl 2 centralised cloud management
Recommended for
- Medium & large branch offices — high port count and throughput for distributed networks
- Public safety & transportation — 5G connectivity for mobile or fixed deployments needing reliable uptime
- Retail, healthcare & industrial — enterprise-grade SD-WAN with centralised multi-site management
- Mission-critical sites — 5G/LTE failover ensures continued connectivity if a wired link fails
