Fortinet has announced the launch of the new compact and rugged FortiGate Rugged 70G device with 5G dual modem. The device is specifically designed for operational technology (OT) environments and provides highly enhanced secure networking and 5G connectivity capabilities. Incorporating the latest fifth-generation Fortinet Security Processing Unit (SP5), the FortiGate Rugged 70G uses FortiGuard’s advanced artificial intelligence (AI) security services and a dual 5G modem to provide high availability for numerous use cases in harsh, isolated environments, including full-service stand-alone ATMs (ATM) in the banking sector.
John Maddison, chief marketing officer and executive vice president of product strategy at Fortinet, said: “Organizations across multiple verticals are increasingly demanding a fast, reliable, and secure network architecture in remote locations and demanding environments… With dual 5G modem, artificial intelligence security, and zero trust feature, our latest FortiGate delivers the latest innovations in secure networking in a single, powerful device built to withstand the most demanding environments.” See how the new FortiGate offering can help clients realize a secure and simplified infrastructure, greater business efficiency, and cost savings as well as an exceptional user experience – even in the most remote locations.
Existing networks are being extended to new remote locations that need to support and protect large amounts of sensitive traffic and data. Previously, businesses would deploy multiple products to meet individual networking, security, and connectivity requirements at these locations. The FortiGate Rugged 70G with 5G Dual Modem aims to solve this problem, offering a single device that meets all the networking, security, and connectivity requirements of OT environments.
The new device brings 5G connectivity to the Fortinet portfolio for the first time, combining enterprise-grade threat protection with high-performance networking capabilities such as software-defined wide-area networking and zero-trust network access. Other key features of the FortiGate Rugged 70G include a dual 5G modem for seamless and fast communication, secure networks powered by Fortinet SP5, a compact design ideal for extreme environments, and security services with artificial intelligence.
One of the primary use cases for the FortiGate Rugged 70G with 5G Dual Modem is the deployment and management of remote ATMs, often located in challenging environments such as stadiums, shopping malls, or outdoors. It provides the networking features and industry-leading security needed to deploy, secure, and manage remote ATMs, and its rugged design meets ATMs’ requirements for extreme heat or cold. Pete Finalle, research manager at International Data Corporation, concluded that Fortinet’s expertise in integrating feature-rich networking and security into a single device built to withstand extreme conditions is ideal for these applications. The addition of a dual 5G modem provides redundant connectivity for remote locations and ensures availability and uninterrupted service.
