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. Rugged Vehicle-Grade Design: IP64-rated enclosure certified for shock, vibration (MIL-STD-810H), temperature extremes, and mobile deployments. Ideal Use Cases Fleet vehicles and public safety transport networks Mobile command centers and emergency response units Industrial and OT connectivity in remote locations Temporary branch offices and pop-up sites Retail kiosks and mobile point-of-sale deployments Technical Specifications Cellular Technology: Dual LTE CAT-12 modems, 3G fallback SIM Support: 4x Micro-SIM slots (Dual SIM per modem) with intelligent failover Ethernet Ports: 1x Gigabit WAN, 4x Gigabit LAN RJ45 Wireless: 2x2 dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wave 2 Bluetooth: Integrated Bluetooth radio Location Services: GPS/GNSS with dedicated antenna port Power Input: 7 to 36V DC vehicle power systems Operating Temperature: -40°C to 70°C Ingress Protection: IP64 rated enclosure Build a resilient mobile network edge Deploy secure, always-on connectivity wherever your operations move.
