Peplink is a large and respected company in the high-end mobile networking space, particularly well known for providing cellular connectivity for everything from fleets of vehicles to cruise ships to dispersed corporate offices.
Peplink is also a key provider of bonding technology that allows a router to combine multiple network connections together for increased performance, or enhanced redundancy and reliability.
The Pepwave Balance Pro 30 is part of the balance line of routers, which are primarily intended for use in branch offices but can be options for mobile users. One advantage of the Pro 30 over some mobile routers like the Pepwave MAX BR1 MK2, is that it supports USB tethering.
