Notes

Cellular modules are sold for a carrier region. The -AM variants are the North American ones; confirm the region code matches the carrier before ordering.

Throughput figures quoted for a modem module are the module maximums and depend on carrier network, band and signal conditions.

Region-specific power adapters are ordered separately on several models.

Specifications are as published by Fortinet and may change without notice. Confirm the current revision before ordering.

Overview

FortiExtender 101G

Indoor LTE CAT 6 wireless WAN router with dual SIM, a reserved eSIM, one GigE WAN and four GigE LAN ports, powered over Ethernet or by adapter.

Wireless WAN, managed from the FortiGate

FortiExtender puts a cellular WAN link under the same management as the rest of the Fortinet estate. It terminates on the FortiGate, so the link becomes another WAN interface available to SD-WAN policy rather than a separate connection with its own console. That matters most where wired circuits are slow to provision, unreliable, or simply absent — branch openings, temporary sites, failover for a single-circuit office, and vehicles or OT assets that move.

What the FortiExtender 101G is

FortiExtender-101G Indoor Broadband Wireless WAN Router with 1x "Dual SIM LTE CAT 6 M.2 Module (DL/UL=300M/50Mbps)" + 1x reserved eSIM for NA/APAC/EMEA Carriers. 1x GigE WAN + 4x GigE LAN network ports and GPS/GNSS service, including 1x 802.3at (25.5W) POE PD port or optional DC 12V/2A power adapter (sold separately). 1x USB2.0 Type A port, 1x RJ45 console port and low energy Bluetooth (BLE 5.0 or above). Find region specific power adaptors under accessories.

Carrier region matters

Cellular modules are built and certified for a carrier region, and the region is part of the part number — the -AM variants are the North American ones. A unit ordered for the wrong region will not attach to a Canadian carrier, so the region code is worth confirming before the order goes in rather than after. Several models also take a region-specific power adapter that is ordered separately.
