Overview
Overview
The Peplink MAX BR2 Micro packs two embedded CAT-4 LTE modems into a ruggedised metal enclosure smaller than three decks of cards. The dual-modem design enhances reliability and resilience with SpeedFusion Hot Failover, WAN Smoothing, and Bandwidth Bonding — so if one carrier or modem drops, the connection keeps running.
A convertible Ethernet LAN/WAN port and a USB-C port (with an integrated Ethernet-to-USB adapter based on the AX88179 chipset) provide virtual Ethernet connectivity for any device, even without a native Ethernet port. Built-in eSIM alongside physical Nano-SIM support enables zero-touch provisioning, configuration, and remote management via InControl 2 and InTouch — no pre-staging required.
Key highlights
- 2x embedded CAT-4 LTE modems (APAC/EMEA bands)
- 1x Gigabit Ethernet port (convertible LAN/WAN) + 1x USB-C (virtual Ethernet via AX88179 adapter)
- SpeedFusion Hot Failover, WAN Smoothing, and Bandwidth Bonding
- 300 Mbps router throughput
- Nano-SIM (4FF), Peplink eSIM, and BYO eSIM (2 profiles per modem) support
- Fanless design, operates from -40° to 65°C
- Ultra-compact ruggedised metal enclosure (76 × 83 × 43 mm)
- Flexible power: AC adapter, 10–30V DC terminal block, or USB-C (9V)
Recommended for
- Mass deployment fleets — cost-effective, scalable dual-modem connectivity for vehicles, kiosks, or ATMs
- Sites needing maximum reliability in minimum space — ultra-small footprint with full dual-cellular resilience
- Zero-touch provisioning scenarios — built-in eSIM lets devices be shipped and activated without pre-configuration
- Devices without native Ethernet — USB-C virtual Ethernet adapter connects any compatible device
