Wireless Routers

Extend Connectivity and Improve Network Availability

FortiExtender offers scalable, cost-effective, and resilient 5G and LTE solutions. Driven by Fortinet's unique approach of Security-driven networking FortiExtender allows organizations business continuity, improved network availability while securing connectivity with wired broadband and cellular networks.

From secure point of sale (POS) systems to vehicle fleet communication, FortiExtender provides reliable broadband access to the internet and extends the value of the Fortinet Security Fabric to support fluid business operations dependent on remote device connectivity.

Security Fabric Integration

Integration with FortiGate appliances provides a single pane of glass management of the wired and wireless WAN connections and security which reduces Total Cost of Ownership for your WAN and improves manageability of remote connections in your network.

Designed for Optimal Signal Strength

Can be located to maximize 3G/4G/LTE/5G signal strength (via Ethernet up to 100m from the FortiGate appliance or network switch) without using lossy antenna cables or limited strength USB modems.

Simplified Management Options

Manage your FortiExtender from the FortiGate or the cloud. FortiExtender Cloud offers hosted management of an unlimited number of FortiExtenders anywhere in the world.

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, providing a single pane of glass management. This enables administrators to 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 the Total Cost of Ownership for your WAN.

Flexible Deployment for Optimal Signal Strength

FortiExtender devices have been engineered to be installed in the best possible location to achieve the maximum 3G/4G/LTE/5G wireless signal strength. The unit is powered using Power over Ethernet, enabling the device to be located for optimal signal strength, even up to 100m away from the FortiGate or Network Switch.

Extend, Ensure, and Secure Your Network

FortiExtender offers scalable, cost-effective, and resilient 5G, LTE, and Ethernet solutions. Driven by Fortinet's unique approach of Security-driven networking FortiExtender allows organizations business continuity, improved network availability while securing connectivity with wired broadband and cellular networks.

From secure point of sale (POS) systems to vehicle fleet communication, FortiExtender provides reliable broadband access to the internet and extends the value of the Fortinet Security Fabric to support fluid business operations dependent on remote device connectivity.

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.
