Twin-LTE mobile router with PoE output, dual SpeedFusion-bonded modems, and rugged enclosure
Pricing on enquiry. The MAX HD2 is a high-end twin-LTE mobile router we price directly through our Peplink Gold Partner channel. Trade pricing, deployment configurations, and SpeedFusion licensing vary by application. Talk to our engineering team for a same-day quote.
Two LTE modems, hardware bonding, and an enclosure built to last
The MAX HD2 is a twin-modem 4G LTE mobile router for deployments where a single SIM and a single radio aren't enough. Two embedded LTE modems with redundant SIM slots, two GbE WAN, four GbE LAN, USB WAN, integrated 802.3af PoE output on the LAN ports, and the SpeedFusion engine bonding both cellular paths plus wired WANs into a single resilient pipe. The 260 x 143 x 40 mm rugged aluminium enclosure with terminal block 10-56V DC input goes directly into broadcast trucks, public safety vehicles, and vessel bridges without an external converter or fragile barrel jack.
This is the predecessor architecture to the MAX BR2 Pro 5G (the current 5G flagship), and remains the right call for deployments where 4G LTE is the cellular tier and twin-modem cellular resilience matters. Real-world cases: broadcast contribution feeds where a dropped frame is unacceptable, ambulance and emergency response vehicles where 5G coverage isn't yet reliable, marine vessels with coastal-only operations, fleet command vehicles with mission-critical comms, mobile broadcast OB.

Where it fits
This is the right router when twin-LTE bonding is what the application needs. Broadcast contribution where two SIMs on different carriers give the cellular link the resilience of a wired connection. Public safety vehicles where reliability matters more than peak bandwidth. Marine vessels in coastal waters where 4G coverage from multiple operators bonded gives a working continuous link. Mobile command posts in regions where 5G isn't yet deployed.
For 5G deployments, the MAX BR2 Pro 5G is the current generation flagship and the right answer where 5G NR is available. For single-modem mobile, the BR1 Pro LTEA or BR1 Pro 5G is more proportional. The HD2 stays the right call when twin-LTE specifically (not 5G, not single-modem) is what's needed.

FAQ
Why is the price not shown? The MAX HD2 is a configurable enterprise SKU with multiple regional variants and FlexModule expansion options. We price it directly through our Peplink Gold Partner channel for accurate trade pricing and the right configuration for your deployment context. Same-day quotes via the contact page or +44 (0)1788 550000.
HD2 LTE or BR2 Pro 5G, which? If 4G LTE is the cellular tier (good UK coverage, 5G not yet deployed locally, or carrier 5G plans are expensive) and you want twin-modem resilience, the HD2 LTE is the more cost-effective answer. If 5G is available and you want to use it, the BR2 Pro 5G is the current generation and the right call. We've deployed both extensively; the answer depends on real-world cellular options at the deployment site.
Does it support 5G via FlexModule? The MAX HD2 LTE platform itself is twin-LTE only. For 5G, look at the BR2 Pro 5G or the HD2 MBX 5G (a different platform with FlexModule 5G expansion).
Can it act as a PoE switch for cabin Wi-Fi APs? Yes. The 4 LAN ports include 802.3af PoE output, so you can power up to 4 APs (e.g. AP One Rugged, AP Pro AX) directly from the HD2 without a separate PoE switch. Combined power budget is shared with the router itself.
Is it E-Mark certified for vehicles? The HD2 has CE and EN 50155 certifications. For specific vehicle applications requiring E-Mark, we recommend the BR2 Pro 5G or BR1 Pro LTEA which are explicitly vehicle-certified. The HD2 is more commonly deployed in fixed-site or marine applications.
What's PrimeCare? A 1-year PrimeCare subscription is bundled. Unlocks SpeedFusion peers, warranty extension, InControl 2 cloud management, and firmware support. Renewals available as 1, 2, or 4-year extensions.
Peplink Gold Partner support
The Tech Factory supplies the MAX HD2 as a Peplink Gold Partner. Talk to our engineering team for a quote, deployment plan, or sizing for broadcast, public safety, or marine applications. We have deployed HD2 across broadcast contribution, emergency response, and marine fleets since 2017.
