The MAX Orbit 8 is the high capacity model in Peplink’s multi-orbit router series. It lets you combine multiple satellite connections, such as Starlink and OneWeb, along with other WAN sources into a single resilient network. It features eight 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 Peplink SpeedFusion technology with up to 4 Gbps router throughput. It is purpose-built for demanding fixed, mobile, and rack-mounted deployments.
