Overview
The Peplink MAX Orbit 8 is the flagship multi-orbit satellite router: it powers and bonds up to eight Starlink, OneWeb, or other terminals over 802.3at PoE+ from a single chassis, with 4 Gbps router throughput, a 240W total PoE budget, and dual USB-C WAN. 10G RJ45 and 10G SFP+ LAN feed your core network, while SpeedFusion bonding with Boost and Smoothing turns multiple satellite links into SLA-grade connectivity for datacenters, vessels, and large sites.
