100 Gigabit Ethernet flagship for hyperscale data centre and ISP backbone aggregation
The Peplink Balance 5000 EC 100G is the absolute top-of-stack flagship in the Balance family. 100 GbE WAN/LAN interfaces for hyperscale data centre WAN aggregation, ISP backbone edge, and the largest enterprise WAN concentrator deployments. Same Balance 5000 EC chassis as the 40G variant but with 100 GbE interface speed instead of 40 GbE. SKU BPL-5000-EC-100G-PRM.
vs Balance 5000 EC 40G
| 5000 EC 40G | 5000 EC 100G (this listing) | |
|---|---|---|
| WAN/LAN interface speed | 40 GbE | 100 GbE |
| Use case | Large enterprise HQ, multi-site SD-WAN concentrator | ISP backbone, hyperscale aggregation |
| SKU | BPL-5000-EC-40G-PRM | BPL-5000-EC-100G-PRM |
Pick the 100G variant when 40 GbE interface speed is no longer sufficient. ISP edge backhaul aggregation, hyperscale data centre aggregation, very large enterprise HQ where multi-Gbps cellular and fibre WAN streams aggregate beyond what 40 GbE can carry.
Where it fits
ISP backbone edge. Carrier-class throughput at the edge of an ISP's network handling thousands of customer SD-WAN tunnels.
Hyperscale data centre WAN. Multi-tenant data centre WAN aggregation where 100 GbE is the interface standard.
Largest enterprise WAN concentrator. National multinationals running thousands of remote sites bonded via SpeedFusion to a single concentrator.
