Overview
Overview
The MAX HD4 MBX is Peplink’s rugged, fanless quad-cellular router for vehicles, rail and mission-critical mobile deployments. Four embedded LTE-A Pro CAT-12 modems, each with redundant SIM slots, can connect to multiple carriers at once, and SpeedFusion combines them into a single bonded connection with hot failover and WAN smoothing.
Alongside cellular, it offers 2x Gigabit Ethernet WAN plus 1x GE WAN/LAN, 2x USB WAN, dual-band Wi-Fi 5 (as WAN and/or access point), a 9-port Gigabit LAN switch with up to eight 802.3at PoE outputs, ignition sensing and a 12–56V DC input. This version ships with a full antenna set: 8x LTE, 4x Wi-Fi and 1x GPS. This model is quote-only — pricing depends on configuration, licensing, and deployment scale, so get in touch with a specialist for a tailored quote.
