Pepwave BR1 PRO LTE and 5G Cellular Routers

Single Cell Modem
The Max BR1 Pro 5G has a single 5G cellular modem that also supports Cat 20 4G LTE-A. The Max BR1 Pro LTE Cat 20 has a single cellular modem that supports Cat 20 4G LTE-A. This means you can only use one SIM card (cellular plan) at a time to access the internet.
Note: This unit takes the smallest "Nano" SIM cards. If you have existing SIM cards are larger, check with your carriers about exchanging for a Nano SIMs.
Dual Sim Card Slots
Although the Max BR1 Pro LTE and 5G have one cellular modem, it allows you to use 2 SIM cards (cellular plans) in the one modem and switch between the two plans as needed. This allows for the redundancy often needed to stay connected while on the road. You can also set limits and rules for when you want to use one cell plan over the other which is a great feature when you are trying to conserve one plan and only use it as a backup. You are not using both cell plans at the same time with this router; however, there are routers available that allow you to use 2 SIM cards at the same time which will improve your connectivity. (See the Max Transit DUO Cat 6 and Cat 12 routers.)
WiFi as WAN Capabilities
The Max BR1 Pro LTE and 5G has WiFi as WAN capabilities which means you can use it to access campground WiFi using 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.
Supports All Major Carrier Networks
US Carriers: AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon and US Cellular
International Carriers: Rogers, TELUS, and Bell
Supports Carrier Aggregation
The Max BR1 Pro LTE and 5G supports Carrier Aggregation (CA), which means it has the ability to connect to up to 8 cellular bands (from the same plan) at the same time, though realistically you may only see a max of 4 bands being used at one time. By combining more than one cellular band together, it is possible to increase the bandwidth available. Traditional hotspots and phones are usually only able to connect to one cellular band and the tower selects which band you are using. With the Max BR1 Pro, you can choose which primary band you want to use (the tower selects the second), which allows you to avoid the crowded primary band used by phones and hotspots.
Increased Throughput and Speeds
Because of Carrier Aggregation, the Max BR1 Pro 5G has higher throughput and speeds than your traditional cellular router or hotspot.
The Max BR1 Pro 5G has the following theoretical speeds:
5G: 4 Gbps download and 700 Mbps upload
LTE CAT-20: 2 Gbps download and 150 Mbps upload
Real world speeds will be less than theoretical speeds.

Hello, I’m interested in the Pepwave BR1 Pro 5G. My question is if I want to have two different cellular carriers and have both nano sim cards inserted into the router, is there a rule I can create for failover in case one of the carriers signal is dropped?

MAX BR1 Pro LTEA CAT-2 is also compatible to another carrier not just AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon ?

[@Technorv]

Hello Mark! Those are the main carriers to pick from but US Cellular is another option but we have seen reports of their “Home Internet” plans being
restricted to a specific device provided by US Cellular. Moving that SIM card
to the Peplink router has not been successful for customers. While we have
successfully certified these devices for use on US Cellular’s network, they
have chosen to restrict these plans to a specific device they are providing
with the plan. This is not something that Peplink is able to influence or pursue
additional certifications

Is this pepwave 5g better than the pepwave transit pro 4g dual. Can it use the antenna that I got with the transit pro from technorv, I don't want to modify my spray on roof. 😉
