Security-Driven Networking | Security Fabric Integration

Integration with Fortinet SD-WAN and FortiGate appliances secures internet edge breakouts with a complete set of Web, Content, and Device security controls far beyond other industry solutions.

Optimal Signal Strength

A single PoE cable provides optimal 5G/LTE signal vs complex, lossy antenna cables or limited strength USB modems. Dual SIM and Dual Modem options offer up to 5X network reliability

Simplified Management

Manage your FortiExtender from the FortiManager, FortiGate, or FortiExtender Cloud dashboard, making network changes, security controls, and policy automation simple.

Features | Superior Management, Security, and Control

FortiExtenders are a true plug-and-play device. Once connected to the FortiGate, they appear as a regular network interface in FortiOS management. IT administrators can manage the connection as well as implement complete UTM security and control, just like any other FortiGate interface. In addition, FortiOS will display data quota usage on the wireless WAN interface, providing complete visibility of the connection to ensure costly carrier data limits are not exceeded. The superior management, security, and control of the FortiExtender ultimately reduces IT costs while extending, ensuring, and securing the network.

Flexible Deployment for Optimal Signal Strength

FortiExtender devices are designed to receive the best possible 5G/LTE signal. The device utilizes Power over Ethernet (PoE) so you can run a high-quality ethernet cable to a location with optimal signal strength, up to 100 m away from the FortiGate or Network Switch.

Flexible 5G/LTE Connectivity

The FortiExtender family of 5G/LTE appliances support dual SIM and dual modem options, enabling up to four different ISPs for 5G/ LTE connectivity. Our dual SIM models allow for one active and one passive cellular link, providing fast failover. Dual Modem options provide two active and two passive links, for the fastest failover and disaster recovery. You can also configure the FortiExtender to utilize an ISP link until a certain data usage threshold is reached. At that point, FortiExtender can automatically shift over to another ISP and use that 5G/ LTE connection. Additional conditions can be set to shift the connection between SIM cards, allowing you to balance connectivity and cost.

Flexible WAN Connectivity

FortiExtender offers new WAN connectivity options with an Ethernet WAN port, in addition to the LTE WAN links. With this WAN port, you can connect to a DSL, cable, or another modem for additional WAN connectivity options. Load-balancing and failover options enable your FortiExtender to manage your WAN connections across several options to ensure connectivity at the best cost point.

Hybrid WAN-LAN Connectivity

FortiExtender offers four LAN Ethernet ports to enable multiple connections to the LTE connection. Ideal for High Availability (HA) pairs of FortiGates, each FortiGate can be directly connecte
