It adds an embedded 5G NR sub-6 GHz cellular WAN to an enterprise router that shipped without one, or upgrades an existing LTE Mini module to 5G in-place. Field-installable in minutes; no firmware reflash, no full reconfiguration. The router detects the new module on boot and exposes it as an additional WAN interface ready for SpeedFusion bonding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy this exists\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Balance 580X HW2 doesn't have a built-in cellular modem. The FlexModule Mini bay lets you add cellular when and how it makes sense for your deployment: 5G NR for the latest cellular tier (this module), Cat-20 LTE-A for sites where 5G isn't deployed yet (EXM-MINI-GLTE-S, £469), Cat-12 LTE-A for entry tier (EXM-MINI-1LTEA-Q, £379), or a SIM Injector module for centralised carrier management across multiple connected Peplink Domes (EXM-MINI-SIM-8, £439). One slot, multiple options, all field-installable.\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\u003eCellular\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1x embedded 5G NR sub-6 GHz modem\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5G mode\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNSA and SA, sub-6 GHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5G theoretical (DL \/ UL)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.4 Gbps \/ 900 Mbps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLTE Cat-20 fallback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 Gbps DL \/ 200 Mbps UL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSIM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2x physical SIM (per module), Peplink eSIM, BYO eSIM, RemoteSIM via SIM Injector, FusionSIM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAntenna connectors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4x SMA cellular (4x4 MIMO)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eForm factor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlexModule Mini bay (compatible with Balance 580X HW2 and similar)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInstallation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHot-swappable; the parent router detects the module on boot\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCertifications\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFCC, CE, RoHS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEXM-MINI-15GN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePick this when you have a Balance 580X HW2 (or other FlexModule Mini-equipped router) and you want to add 5G cellular as either primary or backup WAN.

If you need cellular plus SIM Injector functionality, you'll need to choose. For multi-modem sites, two stacked Balance 580X HW2 with one Mini 5G in each, configured as HA pair, is one common pattern.
