Next-Generation Security with Wi-Fi 6
The FortiWiFi 50G series represents a significant leap in desktop security performance, powered by Fortinet's patented SP5 (Security Processing Unit) ASIC. This device integrates a Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) with a high-speed Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) access point, offering a converged networking and security solution for small businesses, branch offices, and retail environments.
With the SP5 ASIC, the FWF-50G delivers high firewall throughput and fast threat detection compared to traditional CPU-based firewalls. The integrated Wi-Fi 6 radio ensures robust wireless connectivity with higher throughput and better capacity for connecting multiple devices, eliminating the need for separate wireless hardware.
Key Benefits
- Powered by SP5 ASIC: Delivers industry-leading performance with up to 5 / 5 / 4 Gbps firewall throughput and 1.3 Gbps SSL inspection throughput.
- Integrated Wi-Fi 6: Built-in 802.11ax dual-band radio provides high-speed wireless access (up to 1201 Mbps on 5 GHz).
- Compact Desktop Form Factor: Ideal for space-constrained environments where silent or unobtrusive operation is required.
- Unified Management: FortiOS provides a single console to manage both wired and wireless security policies, reducing operational complexity.
