1-Year PrimeCare K extension for Balance SDX and large enterprise SD-WAN flagship hardware
PrimeCare K renews the bundled service subscription on Balance SDX-class enterprise hardware for 12 months from activation. Without an active PrimeCare subscription, hardware still routes traffic but loses InControl 2 cloud management, the substantial SpeedFusion peer entitlement, FusionHub licences, and the bonding/failover features that justify the SDX platform investment. PrimeCare K is the right tier for Balance SDX, Balance 1350 EC, MAX HD2 MBX 5G, and MAX MBX Mini 5G. SKU PRM-K-1Y.
What this tier covers
PrimeCare K applies to:
- Balance SDX (BPL-SDX)
- Balance 1350 EC (BPL-1350-EC-PRM)
- MAX HD2 MBX 5G (MAX-HD2-MBX-5GN-T)
- MAX MBX Mini 5G (MAX-MBX-MINI-5GN-T)
- MAX HD4 MBX (LTEA Cat-12 variants)
- Other large enterprise Peplink hardware as listed on the device's product page
The router's product page lists the correct tier letter under "Recommended add-ons". InControl 2 validates the activation key against the device serial; buying the wrong tier won't activate.
What renewing PrimeCare K unlocks
- InControl 2 cloud management with full enterprise feature set
- Substantial SpeedFusion peer entitlement built in (typically 50, scalable to 300 or 500 via SFN-LC licences)
- Multi-Gbps SpeedFusion bonding with 256-bit AES encryption
- SpeedFusion features: hot failover, WAN smoothing, bandwidth bonding, X.509 certificate authentication, dynamic routing
- FusionHub licence entitlement
- AP Controller for managing fleets of Peplink access points
- HA pair support on platforms that support it
- Drop-in Mode for non-disruptive deployment
- Warranty extension
- Firmware and security updates
- Docker container support
How activation works
- You buy this PrimeCare K 1-Year extension. We email the activation key after order processing.
- Apply the activation key in InControl 2 against the target device's serial number.
- The 12-month period starts from the activation date. Extensions stack with existing cover.
Multi-year ladder
1-year (£659) → 2-year (PRM-K-2Y, £1,318) → 4-year (PRM-K-4Y, £2,636). Almost every enterprise customer buys 4-year cover; the operational savings (single procurement event, locked pricing, no renewal admin) typically justify the upfront commitment.
HA pair pricing
Each device in an HA pair needs its own PrimeCare K subscription. For a primary plus standby pair on 4-year cover, that's two PRM-K-4Y entitlements. We quote pair-bundles to reduce administration overhead.
PrimeCare vs PrimeCare+
PrimeCare+ K (PCP-K range) adds advanced 24/7 technical support, faster RMA, and premium hardware warranty. For mission-critical large enterprise, broadcast operations centres, healthcare cloud, financial trading floors, and large multi-site enterprise networks, PrimeCare+ K is usually the right call.
