Introducing the Transit Mini!

Hello @Alan,
Will there be a APAC version with at least the LTEA Chipset (we need band 28 for Australia) or LTEB Chipset ?
Happy to Help,
Marcus :slight_smile:

Hi @JimP, could you expand on this? The Transit Mini has a locking Molex power connector while the BR1 Mini does not.

Thanks

Tim,

This looks like a nice specialty product. For someone that uses Tmobile, it appears to include all (?) of their current bands.

Are there plans or hardware revisions expected in the next 12 months for other Peplink devices with internal modems that will add band 71 support and exclude band 14?

@cyclops, yes and it also supports the VZW & AT&T bands as well.

We will be launching a few Cat 18 models soon that also support Band 71. Thanks

Our fleet department found that one of the pins within the Molex connector was bad (maybe a crimp/solder issue). Because it uses a Molex connector if there is an issue it becomes more difficult to resolve. If power comes from bare ends, I just strip a new end and reconnect to to the block.

I might have to purchase a collection of Molex connectors and pins to have on hand to address this issue in the future.

@JimP
I tried looking for a molex microfit 3 to terminal connector on the net, but I haven’t found one yet.
There were some talks on a internal forum about one that looks like this.

It was called a “Power & GPIO cable adapter”

@Tim_S
I’m not sure if it was ever introduced as a seperate sku, ,that’s more of a Tim question.

Also as a quick alternative, you can also power it via a passive PoE injector.

You only need the Female 5.5x2.1 mm side of the kit
Connect a male-to-male ethernet between the wan of the pepwave and the female jack of the POE injector.
The male RJ45 side of the injector will then plug in to your switch.

I’ve also used the Peplink version which is the ACW-102.

Care to elaborate on what soon means? :grinning:

I’m waiting for the updated external antennas to be released that support band 71.

Is there a one-time purchase license to enable the WiFi as WAN if one doesnt want to subscribe to the $49/year option?

Hi @mystery, no there is not a separate license for this but it is included with the PrimeCare subscription. Thanks

What is the gain of the included antennas at 600MHz (Band 71). I have a customer with Transit Minis in big box store kiosks. The devices communicate but the performance is sub-optimal.

Hi Len, the gain is similar to the other LTE bands. Is there a comparison here as this could be seen as the network itself is sub-optimal and not the device? Thanks

I need to connect the Transit Mini to 24V DC power. Other than POE, will this work with 24V DC in on the Molex plug?

@mangelo, you are fine up to 28 VDC. Thanks

Can someone please remind me if the Transit Mini includes WiFi As Wan? Or is it an add-on? Or not available? I dont see it mentioned at: https://www.peplink.com/products/max-transit-mini/ Thank you

The Transit Mini is a PrimeCare device so it includes Wi-Fi as WAN, Ethernet WAN, and failover. Thanks

Hi Team, quick question:

Can we use the ACW-634 power cord on the new BR1 Classic in the event a client needs to connect to a 24V power supply?

Hi Jon, yes you absolutely can. Thanks

I just got the Transit Mini but it fails to show as an online device thru InControl. The admin console (tried local connection thru LAN/WAN port as well as thru WiFi AP) doesn’t list any WAN connection (either Ethernet or WiFi) even under the Disabled list. A ticket was filed by the Peplink partner I bought this device from. Frustrating as I spent hours trying to get this to work, to no avail.
