Single embedded LTE-Advanced Cat-20 modem with up to 2 Gbps theoretical DL across 5x carrier aggregation, dual SIM with redundant slots, 1 Gbps router throughput, two Gigabit Ethernet ports (one configurable as WAN or LAN), USB 2.0 WAN, and Wi-Fi 6 in 2x2 MU-MIMO. The form factor sits between the Mini and the BR2 family: rugged aluminium enclosure, 9-30V DC input, ignition sensing for vehicle deployments, and a -40 to +65°C operating range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePick this when you want premium 4G performance and SpeedFusion-grade resilience without paying for the dual-modem BR2 Pro or stepping up to 5G. The Cat-20 modem regularly measures 600-900 Mbps DL on UK 4G mid-band coverage, which is plenty for most enterprise mobile applications. Wi-Fi 6 in the cabin or deployment area gives proper modern client connectivity without a separate AP.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRouter throughput\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 Gbps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpeedFusion VPN throughput\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e400 Mbps unencrypted, 200 Mbps with 256-bit AES\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended users\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1-150\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCellular\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 x embedded LTE-Advanced Cat-20 modem with redundant SIM slots\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCellular data rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLTE Cat-20: 2 Gbps DL \/ 200 Mbps UL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWired WAN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 x Gigabit Ethernet (WAN\/LAN configurable), 1 x USB 2.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWired LAN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 x Gigabit Ethernet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWi-Fi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), simultaneous 2.4 GHz \/ 5 GHz, 2x2 MU-MIMO\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSIM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 x physical SIM, BYO eSIM, FusionSIM, RemoteSIM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpeedFusion peers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 default, up to 20 with PrimeCare\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAntenna connectors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 x SMA cellular (4x4 MIMO), 2 x RP-SMA Wi-Fi, 1 x SMA GPS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower input\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9-30V DC, ignition sensing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 W max\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-40 to +65°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHumidity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15-95% non-condensing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCertifications\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFCC, CE, RoHS, EN 61000, EN 50155, EN 61373, E-Mark\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1-year limited (PrimeCare extends to 4 years)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the right answer for premium mobile applications where 4G is the cellular tier (good UK and EU coverage, 5G not yet justified or available) and you want the headroom that LTE Cat-20 provides. Public safety vehicles where the cellular link carries video, telemetry, and crew Wi-Fi simultaneously. Broadcast support cars uplinking field video over bonded 4G. Fleet vehicles with multiple cloud-connected applications. Pop-up event sites with 100+ users on a single cellular link. Marine vessels coastal-only with no need for 5G.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor sites needing 5G NR, look at the BR1 Pro 5G. For dual-modem cellular resilience, look at the BR2 Pro 5G.

If 5G is available and 4G is constrained, BR1 Pro 5G is the call. We've deployed both extensively; the right answer depends on real-world coverage at the site.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much real-world throughput does Cat-20 deliver?\u003c\/strong\u003e In good UK 4G mid-band coverage with all carrier aggregation working, we routinely measure 600-900 Mbps DL on the BR1 Pro LTEA. Marginal coverage drops that to 100-300 Mbps, still well above what Cat-12 delivers in the same conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it support BYO eSIM?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The BR1 Pro LTEA supports embedded eSIM with BYO profiles plus 2 physical SIM slots, so you can run 3 active SIM profiles total with priority-based failover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use it in a vehicle?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. 9-30V DC input handles 12V and 24V vehicle electrical, ignition sensing manages power on\/off with the vehicle, E-Mark certification covers vehicle EMC compliance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's PrimeCare?\u003c\/strong\u003e A 1-year PrimeCare subscription is bundled.
