FortiExtenders are a proper 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 reduce IT costs while extending, confirming, 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 100m away from the FortiGate or Network Switch.
Flexible WAN Connectivity
FortiExtender offers WAN connectivity 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. Loadbalancing and failover enable your FortiExtender to manage your WAN connections across several to ensure connectivity at the best cost point.
Hybrid WAN-LAN Connectivity
FortiExtender offers four LAN Ethernet ports to enable multiple connections to LTE connections. 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.
