Remote FortiDevice

The Remote FortiDevice has been specially designed for a cost-effective VPN connection for a home office workplace. The great advantage of this solution is the possibility of handling the central management via a FortiGate and thus managing your WLAN infrastructure via it. The unit has four internal antennas.

The connection to a FortiGate can be established with AES256Bit encryption via the IPSec protocol. This means that the connection is not only secure, but can also be processed hardware-accelerated by the FortiGate using the Fortinet Content Processor (CP). Thus, a real VPN throughput rate of up to 20 MBit/s can be achieved. An option for so-called split-tunnelling, i.e. splitting the data traffic between the VPN connection to the company network and directly to the Internet, is also possible.

No additional licensing is required for setting up a WLAN network or operating the VPN connection. This means that only the purchase costs are incurred. However, we recommend a FortiCare support licence for the FortiGate firewall in order to receive support from the manufacturer and firmware updates.

The access point is designed to be mounted on a wall; a stand is optionally available on request for installation on a desk.

What does our service offer you?

We advise you and accompany you, from planning to execution.

We offer certified technicians with expertise who not only set up the solution for you, but also explain how you can manage your solution yourself - for example, to connect additional access points.

We do this by remotely creating a configuration on your FortiGate firewall that enables zero-touch deployment of the remote FortiDevice. This means that an administrator or technician does not have to hold the device in their hands at any time. For example, it can be delivered directly to an employee. The employee only has to connect the device. The access point then connects to the FortiGate independently and thus establishes the encrypted connection to the company network.
