Pros
- Cheapest way into Peplink’s SpeedFusion bonding and failover once the license is added
- Fanless metal case with a -40 to 65 C range and 10 to 30 V input suits a vehicle or rig
- Excludes Wi-Fi and GPS, so you add your own access point and keep the attack surface small
Cons
- No Wi-Fi at all, so an RV needs a second access point
- Failover and bonding need a PrimeCare subscription or a paid feature pack
- Only 2 cellular antenna connectors and Cat 4 speed (150 Mbps down)
