We are very excited about this product for the marine market … Peplink Multi-WAN/Internet Routers allow you to easily manage Multiple Internet Connection Systems on a Sail or Motor Yacht (and other marine vessels) – from Satellite to Cellular, WiFi, 3G and 4G. Allowing you to use the most appropriate one (most cost-effective) for your current location. In dock you might use WiFi where available or 3G / 4G Cellular Data Internet. Underway you may have no choice other than Satellite (VSAT, Mini-VSAT, Fleet Broadband, etc.)
What kind of Peplink Router you need may depend on how many WAN ports you need – in other words how many Internet Systems you have that need to be managed. Here are the current Peplink Multi-WAN Router Products:

The Pepwave Max Flyer is here: visio-2012-flyer-pepwave-max.pdf make sure you get a copy of this!
And here is the brochure (data sheet) – Peplink – Pepwave Max Data Sheet
The Pepwave Max is basically an all-in-one Control Center (it’s a router, it’s a network management control center, it’s the “Internet Switch Box”) all rolled into one sleek unit. It can run on 12 and 24 vDC (Yacht Engineer / Captain note this!) or 110vAC via the included power adaptor. You can tie in DC power directly to the green input block on the front … and put it on your DC Power Grid. Or if AC electrical power is more convenient that’s easy also.
* Many have tried it – but THEY have done it … Built-in 3G Worldwide Capable Cellular Modems, there are TWO (2)!!!! It also has another revolution that it handles both the old standby Verizon and Sprint style Cellular Internet (CDMA-EVDO) as well as the AT&T and T-Mobile style Cellular Internet (GSM – UMTS – HSPA – High Speed Packet Access!) The GSM side takes Sim Cards … and there are 2 Sim Card slots built-in. Those boats that run with 2 Sim Cards for continuous 3G Internet service with the 5 Gigabyte Limits by the Cellular Carriers … You swap your sim cards when one runs out. Well no more!!!! With this box you can program it to swap sim cards for you when the 5 Gigabyte will run out, and it will automatically switch to the other card / account and run on that for 5 Gb worth of data.
The System also has the “External WiFi” built-in. With this system you don’t need a separate WiFi system to get Hotspot Internet onto the boat. Just install an external WiFi Antenna and coax cable (no radio / router needed) and it’s IN THERE!
Set priorities of available connections. Save WiFi Hotspot configurations for repeated use … Disable and switch connections with simple drag-and-drop and “Connect” buttons in the Web Interface … from anywhere on the boat.
Want to use 4G Internet? You can either connect to a 4G MiFi type little box (if you have one) with the built-in WiFi Internet Connect capability and share that onto the boat easily … Or you can use a 4G USB Stick from your cellular provider and share that 4G connection onto the boat.
* I have made a drawing of potential use of the box, as a Flyer, please see it and pass it on (it’s also PDF for download ^ above ^) – please pass it on to your captain, engineer, and other yachting friends. Here is the drawing that I made:
