3Product Features
Pepwave routers enable all LAN users to share broadband Internet connections, and
they provide advanced features to enhance Internet access. Our Max BR wireless
routers support multiple SIM cards. They can be configured to switch from using one
SIM card to another SIM card according to different criteria, including wireless network
reliability and data usage.
Our MAX H series wireless routers are embedded with multiple 4G LTE modems, and
allow simultaneous wireless Internet connections through multiple wireless networks.
The wireless Internet connections can be bonded together using our SpeedFusion
technology. This allows better reliability, larger bandwidth, and increased wireless
coverage are comparing to use only one 4G LTE modem.
