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:
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 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.
