Features | Superior Management, Security, and Control

FortiExtenders are a true 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 reduces IT costs while extending, ensuring, 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 100 m away from the FortiGate or Network Switch.
