BR1 and 20x cellular signal reception

Product Discussion Peplink Balance

I have a client who wants to use the 20x to connect an ATM via cellular network. The ATM is located in an area where coverage is not that great and the client wants to test the device is the real environment first. I only have a MAX BR1 device to test. If the BR1 test is successful, does this mean that the 20x will work too?

In other words, is the 20x performance from the cellular signal detection point of view is equal to or better from the BR1 performance using the same antenna?

So long as you match the BR1 modem capabilities with the 20X then yes. You want the same category of modem really.

Although the right answer is don’t use a B20X in an atm of course. BR1 is a much better choice.

OK
Why you think the BR1 is better for the ATM ?

start by looking at the specs… temperature ranges, size, etc…
