EPX

Extreme Performance SD-WAN Platform

Introducing the industry’s highest performing SD-WAN platform. The EPX is a rapidly deployable, powerful, and versatile SD-WAN router that connects a wide range of WAN options from LTE-A, 5G, satellite modems, to fixed line networks. At a 19″ 2U rack mountable form factor, it can combine up to 24x cellular connections for absolute connection reliability.

Future Proof Design

The EPX supports FlexModule or FlexModule Plus, enabling you to customize the platform with your choice of ports, as well as instantly apply new technology as it will be released and available. 

Peplink team will build additional FlexModule or FlexModule Plus as new technologies such as 5G emerge. Simply insert the new FlexModule or FlexModule Plus and the EPX will become 5G ready; no need to purchase a new device.

Modular Platform. Game Changer

4000 VPN Peers

Gigabit Bandwidth On-The-Go

In its cellular configuration, the EPX is the most powerful wireless SD-WAN router in the industry. It can combine the bandwidth of up to 24 connections*, supporting 48 SIM cards* and providing gigabits of bandwidth on-the-go.

*Require 6x EXM-4LTEA modules and 1x EXM-8C module.

Speed & Reliability. Brought by SpeedFusion™

SpeedFusion allows users to combine any number of connections together to form a point-to-point link to achieve what others cannot:

Combine the bandwidth of several mobile connections to form an ultra-fast data link. Sustain bandwidth-hungry and latency sensitive tasks without the need for fixed lines.

Hot Failover maintains secure tunnels over all available WAN links to keep the network up and running when a connection drops out. If a WAN link fails, SpeedFusion instantly routes traffic to a working tunnel for uninterrupted VoIP sessions.

SpeedFusion is carrier agnostic and our products are certified with multiple carriers. By combining the coverage network of several mobile carriers, chances of running into a network blindspot or congestion is minimized.

With the help of WAN smoothing network traffic will be assigned to WAN connection with the lowest latency. Use multiple WAN connections to create a single, jitter-free data stream.

Different Cellular Configurations with Expansion Modules

Use Cases

Commercial LTE & Public Safety LTE
SD – WAN Backhaul
Cellular Backup for Branches
Work Sites

Combined Public & Commercial Safety LTE

 

Equipped with an EPX, mobile headquarters can combine private LTE, commercial LTE & satellite links to form fast and unbreakable VPN connection both to mobile HQ and to patrol vehicles. With this configuration, patrol vehicles benefit from increased cellular coverage. Even if they are outside the range of one cellular provider, they will still be within the range of others.

SD-WAN Backhaul for ISP

 

Whether providing Internet service with a SLA, or building a video surveillance streaming network, ensuring service continuity is crucial. The EPX enables service providers to build a flexible SD-WAN backhaul to the main network, incorporating as many Ethernet, Fiber, and cellular links as needed to provide fast and solid connectivity.

Cellular Backup for Regional Offices

 

With its modular architecture, the EPX enables regional offices to add WAN connections of any type as they grow in size. With the ability to add cellular modules, the EPX also provides as much cellular connectivity as needed for the company network to operate at full speed even if land lines lose connectivity.

Work Sites and Events

 

With the EPX, temporary sites could get connected in minutes. The EPX can combine up to 18 cellular connections for high-definition video streaming and high-volume data transfers. The EPX can also host docker containers, giving you the ability to host your own custom apps onsite to simplify management.

  • Q. If I purchase EXM-LCDT, do I still need to add EPX-LC-MFA to enable MediaFast, Docker, Python and KVM for edge computing.?

     

    No. The expansion LCD module with 1TB SSD [EXM-LCDT] already comes with a license key to enable MediaFast, Docker, Python and KVM for edge computing. Enter the activation key in our web admin [System] – [Feature Add-ons] – [Feature Activation]. The license will be tied to the EPX.

     

    Q. What are the options for the EPX to have Content Hub or Docker supported?

     

    (1) Purchase the expansion LCD module with 1TB SSD [EXM-LCDT] and replace the existing one.

    (2) Purchase the License Key [EPX-LC-MFA] and install your own SSD. This video will show you how to install the SSD in easy-to-follow steps.

     

    Q. Do you have any suggestions for a 10G SFP transceiver?
