Converged 5G Wireless WAN and Wi-Fi 6 Security
The FortiWiFi 50G-5G-II (FWF-50G-5G-II) is a next-generation desktop appliance designed for the modern distributed enterprise. It uniquely integrates an embedded 3G/4G/LTE/5G wireless WAN module and a Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) access point directly into the firewall. Powered by Fortinet's patented SP5 ASIC, it eliminates the need for multiple devices by providing firewalling, SD-WAN, and wireless connectivity in a single compact unit.
This model is ideal for locations requiring redundant connectivity or primary wireless WAN. The embedded dual-SIM 5G modem supports a wide range of 5G and LTE bands, while the integrated Wi-Fi 6 radio delivers high-throughput local wireless access. With enterprise-grade threat protection and unified management via FortiOS, the FWF-50G-5G-II simplifies network architecture while enhancing security and performance.
