Reliable WAN connectivity is the foundation of every network security architecture. When your primary link goes down, whether due to ISP outage, physical damage or infrastructure failure, your security controls, cloud applications and remote users all go with it. FortiExtender is Fortinet's purpose-built solution for WAN extension and cellular failover, providing LTE and 5G connectivity that integrates natively with FortiGate firewalls and Fortinet's Security Fabric.
The FortiExtender range covers standard business environments and ruggedised industrial deployments, all managed directly through FortiGate's management interface using FortiLink, with no separate management console required.
What FortiExtender Does
FortiExtender provides secure, managed cellular WAN connectivity that functions as either a primary link or a failover path. Unlike basic 4G routers that simply bridge connectivity, FortiExtender is designed to work as a FortiGate-controlled extension of your network security stack. Traffic routing, failover behaviour and security policy all remain under FortiGate's control, meaning your cellular traffic is subject to the same inspection, filtering and logging as your primary WAN link.
This is critical for Australian businesses in regional areas with limited fixed-line options, construction and mining sites that need temporary connectivity, retail and hospitality environments with PoP-level deployments, and any organisation that cannot afford to be offline.
Available Models
The FortiExtender range includes the 200F for standard indoor deployments, the 202F for dual-SIM redundancy in business environments and the Rugged 511G for harsh outdoor and industrial installations where standard hardware would fail. All models support integration with FortiGate via FortiLink and are eligible for FortiCare support contracts.
