Field-installable embedded 5G modem for the Balance 580X HW2 FlexModule Mini bayAdd 5G NR cellular to your enterprise router without replacing itThe Peplink FlexModule Mini 5G is a hot-swappable cellular module that drops into the FlexModule Mini bay on the Balance 580X HW2 (and other compatible Peplink hardware with a Mini bay). It adds an embedded 5G NR sub-6 GHz cellular WAN to an enterprise router that shipped without one, or upgrades an existing LTE Mini module to 5G in-place. Field-installable in minutes; no firmware reflash, no full reconfiguration. The router detects the new module on boot and exposes it as an additional WAN interface ready for SpeedFusion bonding.Why this existsThe Balance 580X HW2 doesn't have a built-in cellular modem. The FlexModule Mini bay lets you add cellular when and how it makes sense for your deployment: 5G NR for the latest cellular tier (this module), Cat-20 LTE-A for sites where 5G isn't deployed yet (EXM-MINI-GLTE-S, £469), Cat-12 LTE-A for entry tier (EXM-MINI-1LTEA-Q, £379), or a SIM Injector module for centralised carrier management across multiple connected Peplink Domes (EXM-MINI-SIM-8, £439). One slot, multiple options, all field-installable.Specifications Feature Specification Cellular 1x embedded 5G NR sub-6 GHz modem 5G mode NSA and SA, sub-6 GHz 5G theoretical (DL / UL) 3.4 Gbps / 900 Mbps LTE Cat-20 fallback 2 Gbps DL / 200 Mbps UL SIM 2x physical SIM (per module), Peplink eSIM, BYO eSIM, RemoteSIM via SIM Injector, FusionSIM Antenna connectors 4x SMA cellular (4x4 MIMO) Form factor FlexModule Mini bay (compatible with Balance 580X HW2 and similar) Installation Hot-swappable; the parent router detects the module on boot Certifications FCC, CE, RoHS SKU EXM-MINI-15GN Where it fitsPick this when you have a Balance 580X HW2 (or other FlexModule Mini-equipped router) and you want to add 5G cellular as either primary or backup WAN. Common scenarios: Branch site where fibre is the primary WAN, 5G is the backup. SpeedFusion bonds them; if fibre drops, 5G takes over without breaking active connections. Pop-up or temporary site where wired WAN isn't available. 5G runs as primary, with a wired ISP added when one becomes available. Enterprise headquarters with multi-gig fibre primary. 5G as backup that's actually capable, not a token gesture. Multi-site SD-WAN. Each Balance 580X anchored at a remote site with a Mini 5G module gives every site cellular fallback without buying a separate cellular router. Compatibility checkThe Balance 580X HW2 has one FlexModule Mini bay, so one module per chassis. If you need cellular plus SIM Injector functionality, you'll need to choose. For multi-modem sites, two stacked Balance 580X HW2 with one Mini 5G in each, configured as HA pair, is one common pattern. The Tech Factory can model your specific architecture.What's in the box 1 x FlexModule Mini 5G module (EXM-MINI-15GN) 4 x SMA cellular antenna feeds (cabled to module front face) SIM tray Mounting screws for the FlexModule Mini bay Quick start guide Antennas are not included with the module itself. Pair with a Mobility 42G (white or black), Slim 40G, or Antenna MAX depending on the deployment context.Care and warrantyEssentialCare 1-Year for FlexModule Mini 5G is available as a separate add-on (SVL-EXM-MINI-5G-1Y, £109). Most enterprise customers bundle this with the module to align warranty cover with the host router's PrimeCare J subscription.Peplink Platinum Partner supportThe Tech Factory ships the FlexModule Mini 5G globally from our supply chain. Talk to our engineering team for FlexModule selection across a multi-site Balance estate, antenna pairing, or planning the cellular tier (5G vs Cat-20 LTE-A vs SIM Injector) appropriate to each site. Same-day UK dispatch on orders before 13:00 (working days) when the SKU is in our supply chain. Otherwise typically 1 to 3 working days from UK, or 5 to 10 days sourced from EU or US.
