Fortinet FG-50G-5G FortiGate 50G-5G next-generation firewall appliance

FG-50G-5G Overview

FortiGate 50G-5G is a physical Fortinet next-generation firewall; subscriptions and support are selected separately.

This SKU is the physical appliance without an embedded multi-year service bundle.

Order Composition and Delivery

This base FG order is a physical firewall without a named multi-year security bundle in the SKU. Shipping, destination, warranty region and hardware receipt are part of fulfillment, while FortiGuard and FortiCare coverage must be selected as separate orderable services. Record the serial number after delivery and associate later entitlements with the correct customer account. This separation is useful when service terms, support levels or activation dates need to be quoted independently from the appliance.

Service Scope and Boundaries

The base appliance is appropriate when hardware, support and security subscriptions are being purchased as separate line items. Build a bill of materials that names every required entitlement, term and registration owner; the chassis price alone is not a complete protected deployment.

Verified Platform Facts

• This platform combines five GE RJ45 ports with an embedded 3G/4G/LTE/5G cellular module.
• Two nano-SIM slots support an active/passive cellular arrangement.
• Fortinet lists 2.25 Gbps IPS throughput, 1.25 Gbps NGFW throughput and 1.1 Gbps threat-protection throughput for the 50G series.

The 50G-5G adds an embedded cellular module, two nano-SIM slots and external antenna connections to the wired 50G platform. Before ordering, verify carrier bands, SIM ownership, signal conditions, antenna placement and whether cellular is primary or failover connectivity. The dual-SIM arrangement is active/passive rather than two simultaneous production links. The cellular appliance and its F50G5 service codes are separate from ordinary 50G orderable items.

A 50G-5G acceptance plan must cover both wired forwarding and cellular behavior. Test the selected carrier, antenna position, signal quality, active/passive SIM transition, addressing method and recovery to the preferred link. Document who supplies and funds each SIM and whether roaming is permitted. Security inspection and VPN tests should be repeated over the cellular path because bandwidth and latency differ from the wired WAN. Store F50G5 entitlements with the cellular appliance serial, not with a standard 50G record.

Term and Procurement Fit

This is an appliance-only purchase unless the SKU explicitly contains a bundle code. Select support and security services separately and align their activation with installation.

Confirm the exact appliance model, cellular requirement, destination, power option, interfaces and separately purchased service coverage.

Compatibility and Related Models

The 50G-5G is a distinct cellular platform. A 50G service SKU and a 50G-5G service SKU must not be treated as interchangeable.

Warranty, Activation and Shipping

Confirm factory condition, warranty region, lead time, export terms and delivery destination. Bundle activation must be coordinated with appliance registration.
