Modern Retail connectivity 5G technology symbol

Digital Transformation for Modern Retail

Support digital transformation in modern retail with ultra-fast, reliable 5G connectivity that keeps POS systems, kiosks, cameras, and back office applications online. This 5G mobile router gives every location real-time visibility, streamlined workflows, and consistent performance as new services and customer expectations evolve.

Centralized Network Management

Manage distributed sites with InControl 2, a secure cloud platform that unifies visibility and control across all deployed routers. Configure policies, push firmware updates, monitor performance, and analyze usage from a single dashboard, ensuring consistent change management while reducing time spent on manual troubleshooting.

One Device, Multiple Solutions

Use a single compact router to deliver 5G and Wi-Fi connectivity for fixed sites, vehicles, and edge devices. Consolidating connectivity into one high-capacity platform simplifies infrastructure, reduces points of failure, and lowers total cost of ownership as deployments scale across enterprise, logistics, and retail environments.

Key Benefits of the BR1 Mini 5G

A rugged, high-capacity 5G router built for continuous performance in remote, mobile, and mission-critical deployments where downtime is not an option.

Future-Ready Connectivity

Supports 5G and LTE via SIM or eSIM, plus optional Ethernet WAN, delivering up to 300 Mbps throughput. Keep sites online through coverage changes, network transitions, and technology refresh cycles without replacing edge hardware.

Engineered for Durability

Fanless, all-metal construction is tested for shock, vibration, and temperature extremes, delivering dependable operation in vehicles, equipment cabinets, and outdoor enclosures where consumer-grade gear fails early.

Optimized Remote Management

Minimize onsite visits with centralized control via InControl 2 and secure local access through InTouch. Maintain complete visibility into device health, usage, and alerts, empowering lean operations teams to efficiently support distributed sites.

MAX BR1 Mini 5G Specs at a Glance

Key hardware, performance, and network capabilities for planning fixed, mobile, and edge deployments.

Hardware and Interfaces

  • Compact metal chassis with fanless design for harsh environments.
  • 1× 5G modem with LTE fallback, redundant SIM slots, and eSIM support.
  • Up to 1× Ethernet WAN and up to 3× Ethernet LAN ports (model dependent).
  • Integrated Wi-Fi access point for local device connectivity.

Performance and Environmental

  • Router throughput up to 300 Mbps for multi-site and high-traffic use.
  • Optimized for continuous operation in vehicles, cabinets, and kiosks.
  • Rugged construction tested for shock, vibration, and temperature extremes.
  • Designed for always-on connectivity in remote and mobile deployments.

Network and Priority Services

  • Supports major North American carriers for 5G and LTE connectivity.
  • Compatible with public safety and priority services when provisioned through Paygasus Connect.
  • Can use Wi-Fi as WAN with 5G and Ethernet so small sites keep operating even when a primary uplink degrades.
  • Managed via InControl 2 and InTouch for centralized monitoring and remote access.
  • Ready for SpeedFusion-based architectures in Paygasus Connect deployments.

SpeedFusion for Small Sites and Remote Assets

BR1 Mini 5G uses SpeedFusion tunnels to keep compact sites, kiosks, and vehicles online when individual links fail or performance drops.

Resilient Connectivity

  • With an active license, SpeedFusion Hot Failover allows sessions to move between 5G, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi as WAN without dropping transactions or remote sessions.
  • Where available, WAN smoothing and bandwidth bonding help maintain usable video, voice, and telemetry over congested or noisy cellular links.

Simple Policies for Small Deployments

  • Standardized profiles in Paygasus Connect define how kiosks, vehicles, and small sites use each WAN path for POS, cameras, and management traffic.
  • Centralized visibility makes it easier to identify locations running on backup paths and plan capacity upgrades before they impact operations.

Deployment Scenarios

Deploy BR1 Mini 5G as a flexible edge platform for fixed sites, vehicles, and remote assets across retail, logistics, public sector, and industrial IoT environments.

MAX BR1 Mini 5G as 5G adapter scenario

5G Adapter

Run BR1 Mini 5G as a 5G adapter in front of existing firewalls or SDWAN edges. Present 5G as an Ethernet handoff to add managed cellular backup or a primary uplink without redesigning security policies or replacing onsite equipment.

MAX BR1 Mini 5G as gateway router scenario

Gateway / Router

When a location only needs a compact edge platform, BR1 Mini 5G can operate as the primary router. Provide 5G, Ethernet, and Wi Fi for POS devices, cameras, and back office systems while still tying each site into Paygasus Connect for monitoring and policy.
