The FortiExtender Vehicle 511G interface includes 4 LAN ports and 1 WAN port, featuring a digital I/O port for external device control, as well as Console and USB 2.0 ports for out of band management (OOB).
Industrial strength for secure networks
FortiExtender ruggedized 5G/LTE gateways offer scalable, secure, and resilient connectivity for operational technology networks and enterprise networks with harsh deployment environments. 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 remote sites in harsh conditions, to factories, healthcare facilities, and fleet vehicles—FortiExtender ruggedized 5G/LTE gateways provide 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.
Highlights
- Extends network edge into vehicle and harsh site deployments
- Unifies 3G/4G LTE, 5G, and Wi-Fi in a single device
- Dust and splash proof (IP64)
- Ruggedized against extreme temperatures, shock, vibration, and humidity
- Certified for a variety of deployment scenarios
- Enables secure network fabrics with VxLAN extension
- Cloud management and on-premises management options
- Rich interface for multiple LAN, WAN, and console connections
- Small form-factor for easy deployment and optimal cellular signal
Features:
Superior Management, Security, and Control
FortiExtender Rugged is a plug-and-play device. Once deployed in a vehicle or at a harsh site remotely over VxLAN, FortiExtender appears as a regular network interface in FortiOS management. Administrators can manage the connection and implement advanced protection from FortiGuard, just like any other FortiGate interface.
Ruggedized for Any Deployment Scenario
FortiExtender rugged devices allow you to deploy the device in a vehicle or at a harsh site. The devices are protected against temperature extremes, shock, vibration, humidity, and provide ingress protection against dust and splash. In addition, FortiExtender ruggedized devices are certified for deployment in unique secnarios, such as rail deployments.
5G/LTE Wireless WAN
FortiExtender ruggedized devices support dual-SIM and dual-modem options, enabling up to four different ISPs for ultra-reliable connectivity. Dual-SIM models enable active/passive cellular for failover based on data plan, disconnects, signal strength, and link health, allowing you to balance connectivity quality and cost. Dual-Modem provides active/active cellular links for high-availability, traffic isolation, and load-balancing use cases.
LAN Connectivity
FortiExtender offers multiple LAN Ethernet ports to enable multiple connections at the Wireless WAN site. 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.
VxLAN Extension
You don’t need a FortiGate on site to deploy AI-powered security with your FortiExtender. Enhanced LAN Extension in FortiExtender creates a network fabric using VxLAN technology where you can extend the Layer 2 broadcast domain of a remote FortiGate to the standalone FortiExtender with no extra license needed. Depending on the FortiGate model, Enhanced LAN Extension supports over 1000 FortiExtenders per firewall.
Private 5G/LTE (CBRS)
All FortiExtender 5G/LTE models support CBRS in either the form of LTE Band 48 or 5G N48. This allows FortiExtender to play a critical role in Private 5G/LTE deployments as a rapid secure uplink at the edge. When equipped with a Private 5G/LTE SIM card, FortiExtenders can also receive CBRS signal from Private 5G/LTE Access Points to deployed on Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), or as virtual LAN mobile zones in parking lots, pop-up tents, and more.
