The FortiGate 50G-5G series transforms distributed enterprise connectivity with a powerful combination of Next-Generation Firewall security and embedded high-speed 5G connectivity. Built on the revolutionary Secure SD-WAN ASIC SP5, this appliance delivers high performance, while the integrated 5G/LTE module provides a robust primary or failover connection to help maintain business continuity at remote or branch locations.
This compact, fanless desktop appliance features a Telit Cinterion FN990A28-HP modem supporting 5G and a broad range of LTE bands. With dual Nano SIM slots (Active/Passive), it enables carrier redundancy, allowing organizations to maintain uptime even if one cellular network becomes unavailable. The FortiGate 50G-5G seamlessly integrates into the Fortinet Security Fabric, offering centralized management, visibility, and threat protection for hybrid networks.
