Fortinet FortiGate 50G DSL — Product Description
NGFW + SD-WAN with built-in xDSL modem (RJ11) for branch internet
The Fortinet FortiGate 50G DSL (FG-50G-DSL) is a compact next-generation firewall designed for branch and small site deployments that still rely on DSL internet services (ADSL/VDSL). It combines enterprise-grade security, integrated SD-WAN, and an embedded xDSL modem in a single appliance—so you can terminate DSL directly on the firewall and apply consistent security policy, traffic shaping, and SD-WAN steering without needing a separate modem/router.
Built on FortiOS and Fortinet’s Secure SD-WAN ASIC (SP5), the 50G DSL delivers strong deep-inspection performance with lower latency and efficient power use, while integrating with the Fortinet Security Fabric and FortiGuard AI-Powered Security Services for real-time threat intelligence and coordinated protection across the environment.
Why it’s a great fit
-
Embedded DSL (RJ11) for sites where VDSL/ADSL is the primary WAN link
-
Converged NGFW + SD-WAN: secure internet breakout, app-based routing, multi-WAN failover (e.g., DSL + 4G/5G backup via WAN)
-
ASIC-accelerated performance (SP5) for faster security inspection and application steering
-
TPM + signed firmware hardware switch to harden the device and reduce tampering/firmware compromise risk
-
FortiLink-ready to extend security to FortiSwitch/FortiAP for SD-Branch deployments
Typical use cases
-
Perimeter protection for branch offices and small campuses on DSL
-
Secure SD-WAN to prioritise voice/video/apps over variable DSL links
-
Secure branch with central visibility and simplified operations via FortiGate Cloud / FortiManager (deployment dependent)
