Quad-modem LTE-A Cat-20 maritime and broadcast contribution router
The Peplink MAX HD4 MBX LTEA (Cat-20) is the LTE-A Cat-20 variant of the HD4 MBX flagship. Same MBX rugged quad-modem chassis as the HD4 MBX 5G, but with four LTE-A Cat-20 modems instead of 5G NR. The right call for premium maritime and broadcast deployments where 5G isn't deployed at the operating areas, where Cat-20 LTE-A delivers all the cellular bandwidth needed across four bonded paths, and where the 4G certification path is more reliable in the deployment region. SKU MAX-HD4-MBX-GLTE-S-T.
When to pick LTEA Cat-20 over 5G
- Maritime offshore where carrier 5G hasn't extended to the operating area
- Broadcast contribution from rural areas where 4G LTE coverage is mature but 5G is patchy
- Carrier plan economics where 5G data plans aren't justified by the workload
- 4G certification reliability in specific deployment regions
For deployments with reliable 5G coverage, pick the MAX HD4 MBX 5G instead.
