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.
FortiExtender WAN 50G-AM
Desktop or wall-mount 5G WAN extension for the FortiGate: up to 7 Gbps down on the module, two 5G/2.5G/1G Ethernet ports and GPS/GNSS.
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 WAN 50G-AM is
FortiExtenderWAN-50G-AM Indoor desktop/wall mount Broadband Wireless WAN Router for WAN-Extension with FortiGate, delivering high performance, high-speed 5G indoor connectivity. One Dual-SIM 5G/LTE Module (DL-7Gbps/UL-2.5Gbps max in 5G/Sub6 SA mode), plus one eSIM for North America carriers. Two 5G/2.5G/1G/100M Ethernet RJ45 LAN ports and GPS/GNSS services, either power with one 802.3at (25.5W) PoE PD port (LAN2) or with included DC 12V/2A power adapter. One USB 3.0 Type-A port, one RJ45 console
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.
