Reliable Dual-LTE Connectivity for Vehicles and OT Networks

The Fortinet FortiExtender Vehicle 212F-AM is a semi-rugged broadband wireless WAN router engineered for vehicles and operational technology (OT) environments across North America. Designed for continuous connectivity while in motion and in harsh conditions, it combines dual internal LTE CAT-12 modems, intelligent SIM failover, and integrated Wi-Fi to deliver resilient mobile networking where wired broadband is unavailable or unreliable.

Seamlessly integrated into the Fortinet Security Fabric, the 212F-AM appears as a native interface in FortiOS, allowing centralized visibility, policy enforcement, and SD-WAN optimization through FortiGate or FortiManager. This makes it ideal for enterprises that require secure, manageable, and high-availability cellular connectivity at the network edge.

Key Benefits & Features

• Dual LTE CAT-12 Modems: Active-active or failover cellular connectivity with up to 600 Mbps downlink per modem for high availability and load balancing.
• Quad SIM Intelligence: Two SIM slots per modem (4 total) allow for automatic carrier switching based on signal strength, link health, or data policy to maintain critical uptime.
• Integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth: 2x2 dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi plus Bluetooth for local wireless access and device connectivity.
• Fortinet Security Fabric Ready: Managed directly from FortiGate and FortiManager with SD-WAN support and unified policy control.
