Environmental Disaster Project

Dear all,

I am working on a rapidly deployable contingency solution to support firefighters, police, and civil defense teams during environmental disasters.

I am considering using a MAX antenna, with one of the devices connected directly to Starlink.

Do you have any experience with the MAX antenna? In particular, I would appreciate information regarding:

  • Maximum number of concurrent users
  • Wi-Fi signal coverage and range
  • Performance in emergency or outdoor deployments

Best regards,

Hello @Gaston_Marion,
Welcome to the Peplink Community Forum.

Here are some thoughts on how to get the best outcome for working in Emergency Services:

  1. Who is your local Certified Peplink Partner that you brought your Peplink solution from (https://www.peplink.com/buy/peplink-certified-partners/)? They are the best equipped people to help you get the most out of your Peplink solution.

  2. The maximum number of users is NOT the real thing to be looking at; look at things like the number of current sessions and what the applications are creating network traffic on the edge device/router.

  3. The WAP range varies depending on the model used

If you get stuck, post what country you’re based in, and a local active Peplink Partner may respond. FYI, I’m based in Australia and support the AU/NZ and South Pacific region, you’re welcome to PM me if that’s of benefit.

Have a good week,
Marcus :slight_smile:
