Quad-modem 5G NR flagship for the most demanding maritime, broadcast, and government deployments
The Peplink MAX HD4 MBX 5G is the quad-modem 5G NR flagship at the top of the MBX maritime and broadcast contribution line. Four embedded 5G NR sub-6 GHz modems with 4x4 MIMO each, gigabit SpeedFusion bonding across all four cellular paths, plus optional Ethernet WAN, fanless rugged enclosure rated for permanent vessel and vehicle mounting. The right router for deployments where four simultaneous 5G cellular paths and bonded throughput at multi-hundred-Mbps to 1+ Gbps are operational requirements. SKU MAX-HD4-MBX-5GN-T.
Where it fits
Premium superyacht and commercial maritime. Vessels operating across multiple maritime carriers where four-path bonding plus Starlink delivers contribution-grade reliability for guest services, navigation, and crew comms.
Broadcast OB vehicles for premium contribution. 4K HDR live contribution requires 25-60 Mbps sustained uplink; four-path bonding delivers this with margin even in marginal coverage.
Government and defence mobile command. Where multi-carrier diversity and quad-redundant cellular are operational requirements, not optional features.
Broadcast network operations centre tender vehicles. Production trucks supporting national broadcast operations with multi-camera contribution feeds.
