The MAX-ORB-2 is a compact, rugged multi-orbit router that lets you combine multiple satellite connections, such as Starlink and OneWeb, along with other WAN sources into a single resilient network. It comes with two dedicated Orbit ports (1G and 2.5 G) for connecting satellite terminals, built-in Wi-Fi 6, GPS, and 1 Gbps router throughput. It features Peplink SpeedFusion technology to bond connections for greater speed and reliability. It is purpose-built for fixed and mobile deployments that need dependable connectivity beyond the reach of traditional wired networks.
Multi-orbit refers to using satellite networks that operate in different orbits, such as Low Earth Orbit services like Starlink, OneWeb, and Iridium together at the same time. The MAX-ORB-2 lets you bond these connections so that if one satellite link is obstructed, congested, or handing over, the others keep your network online. Through Peplink’s management platform, InControl, you can manage these networks together from one place without hopping between separate provider portals.
The MAX-ORB-2 does not include a built-in satellite terminal or cellular modem. It connects to external satellite terminals, such as a Starlink or OneWeb dish, through its Orbit Ports, and to other WAN sources such as a 5G FWA router or fiber connection through its Ethernet ports. This lets you bond and manage all of them as one network. The MAX Orbit 2 has a 1G LAN port with 802.3at PoE+ input, which allows the router itself to be powered over Ethernet. However, the Orbit Ports do not supply PoE output to power a terminal.
The MAX-ORB-2 is built with a rugged, fanless metal enclosure and a vibration-tolerant design. It operates in temperatures from -40°F to 149°F (-40°C to 65°C) and includes integrated GPS, a 4-pin Micro-Fit power connector, and Ignition Sensing, making it well-suited for vehicles, vessels, and field deployments. It is ideal for remote sites, mobile command units, field deployments, and backup connectivity where reliable satellite internet is needed beyond wired coverage. Typical applications include remote worksites, small vessels, emergency response vehicles, and backup links for fixed sites such as retail or remote facilities.
The MAX-ORB-2 is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it suitable for US government and public sector procurement.
