MX-320 Series
MX-320 Series
Advanced Industrial 5G RedCap Routers
The BEC MXConnect® MX-320 Series brings practical 5G RedCap connectivity to industrial and enterprise edge networks that require reliability, security, and long-term cellular availability without the overhead of full-scale 5G. Purpose-built for M2M, IoT, SCADA, utility, and remote asset connectivity, it delivers the right balance of 5G performance, lower power operation, compact design, and deployment flexibility.
As LTE networks continue to evolve and industrial applications move toward 5G Standalone, the MX-320 Series provides a future-ready bridge between legacy LTE deployments and next-generation 5G infrastructure. Support for 5G SA RedCap, LTE Cat 4, dual Gigabit Ethernet, Ethernet WAN, RS-232 serial, Active GPS, dynamic routing, VPN, QoS, firewall, and automatic failover makes it ideal for field-area networks, remote monitoring, serial-to-IP, backup WAN, and private wireless deployments.
With global frequency band support, including Anterix, FirstNet®, CBRS, and private 5G networks, the MX-320 Series delivers the spectrum flexibility needed to support a wide range of use cases and deployment environments.
Managed by BECentral®, the MX-320 Series gives organizations centralized control over distributed routers, helping improve uptime, simplify operations, and accelerate deployments across industrial sites, utility networks, enterprise locations, and unattended assets.
