Fortinet FortiGate 71G PoE

Fortinet FortiGate 71G PoE

High-performance NGFW + SD-WAN with integrated PoE for secure branch deployments

The FortiGate 71G PoE is a powerful next-generation firewall purpose-built for branch offices and distributed enterprises that need stronger performance, integrated SD-WAN, and direct PoE connectivity for access layer devices.

Powered by FortiOS and Fortinets patented SP5 Secure SD-WAN ASIC, the 70G PoE delivers enterprise-grade threat protection, deep SSL inspection, and high VPN throughputwhile also supplying Power over Ethernet (PoE+) to devices such as access points, IP phones, and cameras. This reduces the need for additional PoE switches in smaller environments.

As part of the Fortinet Security Fabric, it works seamlessly with FortiGuard AI-Powered Security Services to provide real-time, coordinated protection across IT, OT, and IoT environments.
