Features | Superior Management, Security, and Control
FortiExtender is a plug-and-play device. Once connected to a FortiGate, either directly or remotely over VxLAN, FortiExtender appears as a regular network interface in FortiOS management. IT administrators can manage the connection and implement advanced protection from FortiGuard, just like any other FortiGate interface.
Flexible Deployment for Optimal Signal Strength
FortiExtender devices removed the need for lengthy, expensive, and lossy antenna cables. FortiExtender utilizes Power over Ethernet (PoE) so you can run a high-quality Ethernet cable up to 100 meters away from the FortiGate or network switch where there is optimal 5G/LTE signal. Certain FortiExtender models also support SFP ports, so that you can deploy the device over 100 meters away from the FortiGate or network switch.
5G/LTE Wireless WAN
FortiExtender supports 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. Failover configuration options for Dual-SIM FortiExtender include.
Wired WAN Connectivity
FortiExtender offers WAN connectivity options with an Ethernet WAN port, in addition to 5G/LTE Wireless WAN links. With this wired WAN port, you can connect a DSL, cable, or another modem for additional WAN connectivity. Load-balancing and failover options enable your FortiExtender to manage your WAN connections across several options to ensure optimal connectivity and cost.
