Peplink SD-WAN combines edge routers with multiple fixed or cellular WAN links and manages them as a centrally controlled network. Connections such as xDSL, MPLS, cellular, and fiber can be presented as one logical WAN. The system monitors link health and quality to steer application traffic, including sending real-time services over the lowest-latency link. Intelligent failover and active/active configurations are described as ways to maintain reliability when a WAN link fails. InControl 2 provides cloud-based device management, monitoring, reporting, and provisioning; it can push configuration and firmware updates to hundreds of devices. SpeedFusion VPN creates secure device-to-device tunnels, while SpeedFusion Bonding can combine provider links into one tunnel. The VPN uses only one WAN connection at a time and has no software client. Other listed capabilities include router security controls, FusionHub virtualization integrations, and an API. Pricing is on request, though qualifying in-warranty devices can use InControl 2 free while meeting firmware requirements. Peplink presents the solution for enterprise branches, service providers, mobility, and specialized markets.
