Overview

Overview

The MAX MBX Mini brings MBX-class performance to a much smaller chassis. Two embedded 5G modems with redundant SIM slots are joined by 2x GE Ethernet WAN, Wi-Fi WAN and 2x USB WAN ports that can host MAX Adapters to reach four cellular WANs, all delivering up to 2.5Gbps router throughput.

Four GE LAN ports support IEEE 802.1X authentication and 802.3at PoE output, dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi serves on-board users, and redundant DC power inputs make it easy to install in vehicles, cabinets and temporary sites. SpeedFusion bonding is built in. This model is quote-only — pricing depends on configuration, licensing, and deployment scale, so get in touch with a specialist for a tailored quote.
