1. What makes the BR1 Mini different from other LTE routers?
Think of it as the “Swiss Army knife” of LTE routers—compact, tough, and versatile. Unlike basic LTE routers, the BR1 Mini supports enterprise-grade features like Hot Failover, PepVPN, remote device access (InTouch), and even private LTE band support.
And with PrimeCare, you get it all in one subscription with no surprise license costs.
2. Can I access or manage connected devices remotely?
Yes, easily.
The BR1 Mini includes InTouch, which lets you remotely view and control third-party devices (like IP cameras, sensors, or network switches) without needing a separate out-of-band management system. All of this is handled securely through InControl2, Peplink’s cloud platform.
3. Does it support failover or redundant internet?
Absolutely.
The BR1 Mini supports Hot Failover, meaning it can switch between WAN inputs (cellular, Wi-Fi WAN, or Ethernet) without dropping the connection. This is a game-changer for remote offices, industrial systems, or mobile teams that can’t afford downtime.
4. Is the BR1 Mini future-proof for private LTE or eSIM setups?
Yes.
It’s a Cat-7 LTE router, which means it supports a wide range of bands including those used for private LTE networks (like CBRS in the U.S.). It also includes eSIM support, making it flexible and ready for modern, low-touch deployments across campuses, field offices, or secure sites.
5. How do I manage it Do I need cloud access?
You’ve got options.You can manage the BR1 Mini via InControl2 (Peplink’s cloud management tool), or if you're running a secure network, you can choose on-premises control. Either way, you get full visibility into usage, health, and connected devices.
