Peplink MAX BR1 Mini M2M

Peplink MAX BR1 Mini M2M is tailored for machine-to-machine and industrial IoT deployments where cellular connectivity and serial integration must live in the same box. It’s an excellent fit for telemetry, industrial controllers, kiosks, and remote equipment that rely on serial protocols while still needing secure WAN access and centralized management.

At its core, Peplink MAX BR1 Mini M2M is rated at 300 Mbps router throughput and supports SpeedFusion VPN throughput up to 80 Mbps (no encryption) and 60 Mbps (256-bit AES). The unit includes one embedded cellular modem (CAT-4 option listed) with two Nano-SIM slots, enabling carrier flexibility for field operations.

The defining feature is industrial interfacing: Serial Interface is supported (RS-232 & RS-485), allowing the router to sit close to PLCs, RTUs, meters, and industrial sensors while keeping the network architecture clean and serviceable. For local wireless needs, the model supports Wi-Fi AP and Wi-Fi WAN, and includes dual-band 2×2 Wi-Fi 5 plus integrated GPS, helpful for mobile assets or location-aware monitoring.

Operational continuity is a key reason to choose this platform. SpeedFusion features such as Hot Failover, Smoothing, and Bandwidth Bonding are supported (with licensing/entitlement notes provided in the tech specs), enabling more stable communications over variable links especially important for industrial monitoring where packet loss and jitter can break applications.

If your use case requires both cellular routing and serial connectivity in one device, Peplink MAX BR1 Mini M2M is a focused solution that reduces integration complexity while keeping security and uptime front and center.
