Compact 5G NR maritime mobile router for installs where space matters
The Peplink MAX MBX Mini 5G is the compact 5G variant of the MBX maritime line. Single embedded 5G NR sub-6 GHz modem with 4x4 MIMO, gigabit SpeedFusion bonding capability with optional Ethernet WAN, fanless rugged enclosure, but in a meaningfully smaller form factor than the HD2 MBX 5G. Built for vessel and vehicle installs where the HD2 MBX class is overkill or doesn't fit the available rack/cabin space, and where single-modem 5G plus Starlink bonding is the operational architecture. SKU MAX-MBX-MINI-5GN-T.

| Form factor | Compact rack/cabin | Standard MBX rack | Outdoor dome |

Where it fits
Mid-size motor cruisers and sailing yachts where HD2 MBX is overkill but vessel-grade ruggedisation is required.
Compact ENG kits and run-and-gun broadcast where rack space is constrained and dual-modem isn't justified.
Specialist commercial vehicles needing maritime-grade ruggedisation in a vehicle install.
