Fortinet FortiExtender 101G LTE Cat 6 Gateway with eSIM Support

The FortiExtender 101G is part of Fortinet's FortiExtender line, built on the company's security-driven networking approach: connectivity and security are configured together rather than bolted on afterward. This current G-series model carries a dual-SIM LTE Cat 6 M.2 modem with a reserved eSIM, so carriers can be provisioned or changed remotely — a meaningful operational win across hundreds of unattended sites. LTE Cat 6 delivers a 300 Mbps downlink class with carrier aggregation. Connectivity goes beyond the radio: 1x GE WAN plus 4x GE LAN ports handle site networking directly, a USB 2.0 Type-A port and RJ45 console support local operations, and GPS/GNSS provides location service for asset reporting. Power over Ethernet (802.3at PD) removes the need for a dedicated outlet at cramped install points. Management options fit both single sites and thousand-site fleets. A FortiGate can adopt and control the unit through Security Fabric integration, while FortiExtender Cloud provides zero-touch provisioning, monitoring, and firmware management at scale; FortiManager support rounds out the tooling. For teams refreshing older F-series extenders, the G-series adds eSIM flexibility while keeping the same Security Fabric workflow.
