Modular System. Ensure Flexibility

Future Proof Design

4G/5G cellular WAN

Add 4G/5G backup to enterprise networks. Add multiple cellular FlexModules for fast and unbreakable connectivity anywhere.

8x copper WAN/LAN

Connect PoE-enabled modems on the WAN, or connect PoE devices such as cameras, IP phones, and Wi-Fi APs on the LAN.

4x fiber WAN/LAN

Build an all-Fiber network by connecting Fiber WANs and LAN Switches.

56x SIM Capacity

Virtually deliver SIM cards from the FlexModule to Peplink cellular routers anywhere. Supports up to 56 SIM cards.

The SDX Pro has enough throughput to handle any
high-bandwidth enterprise branch or mobile deployment.

Ready-Built Infrastructure

Your SDX Pro comes ready to connect to the SpeedFusion Cloud: a global network of secure endpoints with unique capabilities. Use the SpeedFusion Cloud as an unbreakable worldwide VPN, saving setup and maintenance costs.

Edge Computing Capable

Websites
Virtual Machines

Docker Containers
Applications

The SDX Pro is a one-box hosting solution that can deliver Docker containers, applications, and websites to its local network. By hosting resources near the network edge, you can reduce latency and make applications more responsive.

Uninterruptible Power

The SDX Pro is equipped with two power inputs and two hot-swappable power supplies. Only one of each is needed to function, ensuring continuous power delivery even if a cable gets disconnected or if a power supply drops out for any reason.

* WAN ports are configured as a LAN ports by default, configuration is changeable on the Web Admin.
