Pepwave Max Transit mobile router — The Pepwave MAX Transit Duo has two cellular modems - allowing you to be connected to two networks at once. It's earned a Top Pick Status.

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 extreme redundancy and reliability.

While Peplink's Pepwave cellular integrated routers are not specifically designed with individual mobile users in mind, Peplink does offer solid and well-supported products that many advanced consumers have grown to rely on. They also offer some consumer level options.

Pepwave Product Lineup Quick Glance

The diverse Pepwave product line can be overwhelming to navigate, as they offers dozens and dozens of models and variations.

They start at routers with minimal features and lower end modems with consumer pricing as low as $199.. all the way to high level enterprise gear priced in the multi-thousands. Some models are specifically ruggedized for mobility, such as their MAX line-up. Others are more intended for stationary office use, but might still have appealing features when used in a mobile environment.

As Pepwave is intended to managed by an IT department of a company, navigating their product line and interface isn't intended for those without some tech-savviness.
