Reliable Dual-LTE Connectivity for Vehicles and OT Networks
The Fortinet FortiExtender Vehicle 212F-AM is a semi-rugged broadband wireless WAN router engineered for vehicles and operational technology (OT) environments across North America. Designed for continuous connectivity while in motion and in harsh conditions, it combines dual internal LTE CAT-12 modems, intelligent SIM failover, and integrated Wi-Fi to deliver resilient mobile networking where wired broadband is unavailable or unreliable.
Seamlessly integrated into the Fortinet Security Fabric, the 212F-AM appears as a native interface in FortiOS, allowing centralized visibility, policy enforcement, and SD-WAN optimization through FortiGate or FortiManager. This makes it ideal for enterprises that require secure, manageable, and high-availability cellular connectivity at the network edge.
