The FortiGate 80F-DSL integrates specialized broadband connectivity directly into the security appliance, offering a seamless all-in-one solution for branch offices and distributed enterprises relying on DSL connectivity. By incorporating a VDSL2/ADSL2+ DSL modem via a dedicated RJ11 port, this model removes the complexity and point-of-failure risks associated with external modems. This consolidation allows businesses to leverage low-cost broadband lines for primary connectivity or backup WAN links while maintaining enterprise-grade security controls through the Fortinet Security Fabric.
Despite its added modem capabilities, the FG-80F-DSL retains the high-performance architecture of the 80F series, driven by the patented SP4 SD-WAN ASIC. It provides up to 10 / 10 / 7 Gbps of firewall throughput (1518 / 512 / 64 byte UDP) and 1.4 Gbps of IPS performance, ensuring that secure connectivity does not compromise network speed. The device supports integrated SD-WAN capabilities, including application identification and steering, making it an ideal choice for hybrid WAN deployments requiring legacy DSL compatibility.
