Overview
Overview
The MAX HD2 MBX LTEA (Global/ESN) is a rugged, fanless mobile router built around two embedded LTE-A Pro CAT-12 modems, each with redundant SIM slots. Combined with 2x Gigabit Ethernet WAN ports and 2x USB WAN interfaces, it can bond multiple links with SpeedFusion for faster, more reliable connectivity on the move.
A 9-port Gigabit LAN switch with up to 8x 802.3at PoE outputs powers cameras and access points directly, while the dual-band Wi-Fi 5 access point serves users on board. Cellular modules are swappable, so the unit can be upgraded as networks evolve. This model is quote-only — pricing depends on configuration, licensing, and deployment scale, so get in touch with a specialist for a tailored quote.
