Overview
Overview
The Peplink MAX BR1 Mini LTE is a compact, industrial-grade cellular router with a built-in LTE modem covering Europe and international GSM bands. Unlike the MAX BR1 Mini Core, this variant includes 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi (usable as an access point or Wi-Fi WAN) and GPS for fleet tracking, making it suited to mobile deployments as well as fixed sites.
An optional Ethernet WAN port adds wired failover alongside the cellular connection, and the full antenna set (LTE, Wi-Fi, and GPS) ships included. Redundant SIM slots with automatic switching support multi-carrier flexibility.
Key highlights
- 1x embedded 4G LTE modem (Europe and Int’l GSM bands)
- 1x optional Ethernet WAN port with optional failover
- 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi — usable as AP or Wi-Fi WAN
- GPS for fleet tracking
- 100 Mbps router throughput
- Full antenna set included (LTE, Wi-Fi, GPS)
- Redundant SIM slots with automatic switching
- Compact, rugged enclosure
Recommended for
- Fleet & vehicle deployments — built-in GPS supports live location tracking alongside cellular connectivity
- Kiosks & small remote sites — compact size with Wi-Fi AP for local client access
- Sites needing wired failover — optional Ethernet WAN backs up the cellular connection
- Multi-carrier deployments — redundant SIM slots with automatic switching
Performance
Throughput
The MAX BR1 Mini LTE delivers 100 Mbps of router throughput, with the embedded LTE CAT-4 modem rated for up to 150 Mbps down / 50 Mbps up at the modem level, subject to carrier network and signal conditions.
