Peplink is always working to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to their cellular solutions. It’s no surprise that they’re continuing to evolve their MBX hardware line, starting with the HD4. The HD routers are known as Peplink’s multi-cellular gigabit mobile powerhouse, offering a fanless design that ensures reliability in high-particle environments where traditional fan-based routers might fail.
The Peplink MAX HD4 MBX 5G is capable of combining the bandwidth of 4 cellular links into an unbreakable, high-speed SD-WAN connection. Now, it can use the power of the Qualcomm® x65 chipset to provide faster 5G bandwidth speeds and enhanced coverage. It also maintains the same robust metal enclosure and dimensions as the previous HD4, ensuring seamless integration into existing deployments.
Introducing the New Peplink MAX HD4 MBX 5G
Peplink’s latest innovation, the MAX HD4 MBX 5G (MAX-HD4-MBX-5GK-T), now features the Qualcomm® x65 modems, bringing faster speeds and improved coverage. The good news for those who already have the HD4 MBX is that you can upgrade the cellular module to take advantage of these new supercharged modems. Simply swap in the Peplink expansion module (EXM-MBX-T4-5GK) to experience the next level of connectivity.
Superior Connectivity and Expandability
The Peplink MAX HD4 MBX 5G supports up to 8 SIM cards, and with the optional SIM Injector, you can expand that to 16, allowing connectivity with multiple cellular providers. This level of flexibility ensures reliable service, even in areas with inconsistent coverage.
For those frequently operating in areas with weak signals, pairing the HD4 MBX 5G with one of Peplink’s 5G Ready Outdoor Antennas, such as the Mobility 82G, is an excellent solution. The 82G Antenna supports:
- 8×8 MIMO cellular
- 2×2 MIMO WiFi
- GPS
Designed for a variety of applications, including public safety, mobile healthcare, and transportation, the Mobility 82G antenna ensures extensive 5G global frequency support, including Band 71, enhancing reliability for business-critical operations.
Ideal for Mobile Deployments
With built-in Ignition Sensing, the Peplink MAX HD4 MBX 5G is perfect for mobile applications. It can power on and off automatically with the vehicle’s ignition and shut down after a user-defined interval to conserve battery power. Additionally, it features 8×802.3at PoE outputs, allowing it to directly power IP phones, cameras, and access points. This makes it an ideal solution for industries such as:
- Live streaming
- Telemedicine
- Branch offices
- Temporary sites
- Public safety
Additionally, the HD4 MBX 5G is built for high-capacity environments, supporting up to 50-500 users. It features 9 GbE LAN ports and 2 GbE WAN ports, with the option to configure one LAN port as a third WAN if needed, ensuring seamless network adaptability.
Advanced Performance & SpeedFusion Technology
The router is equipped with SpeedFusion Technology, which includes Hot Failover, WAN Smoothing, and Bandwidth Bonding for uninterrupted connectivity. With a router throughput of 2.5 Gbps, users can experience robust performance, even in demanding networking scenarios. SpeedFusion throughput is 600 Mbps without encryption and 500 Mbps with encryption, providing secure and efficient data transmission.
Comprehensive WiFi & Antenna Capabilities
The HD4 MBX 5G supports WiFi 5 via both WiFi AP and WiFi WAN, offering 802.11ac with speeds of up to 1166Mbps using 2×2 MIMO for WiFi AP, and a separate 2×2 MIMO for WiFi WAN. The router’s WiFi range extends between 300-400 feet through walls and significantly greater in open spaces, though actual performance may vary depending on interference and physical obstructions.
To enhance its connectivity, the router is equipped with 16 QMA cellular antenna connectors, 4 RP-SMA Wi-Fi connectors, and 1 QMA GPS connector, providing flexibility for different deployment needs.
Cellular Compatibility & Certifications
The HD4 MBX 5G is certified for use with major U.S. carriers, including AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon (C-Band), and FirstNet, ensuring reliable connectivity for a variety of enterprise and public safety applications.
Future-Proof Your Connectivity
The Peplink MAX HD4 MBX 5G, with its Qualcomm® x65 chipset, robust build, and superior connectivity options, is built for businesses that demand the highest level of performance and reliability. Whether used for mission-critical mobile applications or high-demand enterprise networking, this router is a game-changer for those looking to stay ahead in the evolving world of 5G connectivity.
