Peplink MAX-ORB-8 Multi-Orbit Enterprise Router for Starlink, OneWeb, and Iridium

Peplink MAX-ORB-8 Router for Multi-Orbit Satellite Connectivity, 8x 2.5G Orbit, 10G WAN/LAN, 10G SFP+, Wi-Fi 7

The MAX-ORB-8 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 eight dedicated 2.5G Orbit ports with 802.3at PoE+ output for connecting and powering satellite terminals, 10G and 10G SFP+ LAN ports, two USB-C WAN ports, built-in Wi-Fi 7, GPS, and 4 Gbps router throughput. It features Peplink SpeedFusion technology to bond connections for greater speed and reliability. It is purpose-built for demanding fixed, mobile, and rack-mounted deployments.

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-8 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-8 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, SFP+, and USB-C ports. This lets you bond and manage all of them as one network. The eight 2.5G Orbit Ports support 802.3at PoE+ output with a total PoE power budget of 240W, so you can power satellite terminals directly over Ethernet. A DC input voltage of 50V to 54V is required to enable PoE output.

The MAX-ORB-8 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, and a 12 - 54V DC Terminal Block. Typical applications include large vessels, broadcast operations, large remote sites, and high reliability backup for fiber and ISP links at cellular towers, warehouses, datacenters, and energy and mining sites. It is also rack-mountable for fixed installations using the included ear rack mount kit.

The MAX-ORB-8 is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it suitable for US government and public sector procurement.
