Overview:

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 Secure 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.

Secure 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 Options

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

Highlights

Provides secure network failover with out of band management (OBM), dual SIM, and dual Modem capabilities
Integrates with Fortinet Secure SD-WAN for ease of deployment, management, and security
Offers dynamic, flexible edge connectivity—switch links among ISPs based on data consumption, schedules, or ad hoc
Enables network access for remote sites and branches located beyond fixed broadband
Accelerates cloud connectivity for any user with flexible on-ramp paths to SaaS/IaaS
Reduces overall WAN TCO with FortiGate Network Security Platform integration
Cloud-based management empowers businesses with globally distributed locations
Four LAN ports and routing capabilities enable remote connectivity and networking

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 have been engineered to be installed in the best possible location to achieve the maximum 3G/4G LTE 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.

FortiExtender can be placed near a window or outdoors for optimal signal strength.

Deployment:

Switch between ISPs based on cost or data usage

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.

Mix LTE and Cable/DSL connections for load-balancing and/or failover

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.

Easily supports two FortiGates in HA mode without additional hardware

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 connected to the FortiExtender. Either FortiGate can run in load-balancing or failover modes and receive WAN connectivity from the FortiExtender.

Secure Mobility

The FortiExtender portfolio includes vehicle models for secure LTE mobility. Vehicle models include embedded Wi-Fi and 7-36 volts DC power supply to securely connect your mobile fleet. FortiExtender Cloud management allows for remote provisioning and simultaneous management of thousands of mobile fleet vehicles.

Secure LAN Extension

FortiExtender gateways can be deployed at a remote location serves as an extension of the FortiGate LAN interface, connecting to a central FortiGate with a secured L2 tunnel for Layer2~Layer7 security for branch offices. FortiExtender 200F with LAN extension configuration also allows a thin edge deployment, providing a branch office connected to the LAN behind the FortiExtender with secure Internet access over a backhaul connection to FortiSASE.

FortiExtender Remote Ethernet devices can be managed in FortiSASE, offering robust FortiGuard protection for thin branch deployments.
