FortiGate 50G/51G
The 50G family is built on the patented SD-WAN-based ASIC, which delivers unmatched performance over traditional CPUs with lower cost and reduced power consumption. This application-specific design and embedded multi-core processor further accelerate the convergence of networking and security functions in the 50G family to optimize secure
connections and deliver a robust user experience at branch locations.

The FortiGate and FortiWiFi 50G series integrate firewalling, SD-WAN, and security in one appliance, making them perfect for building secure networks at distributed enterprise sites and
transforming WAN architecture at any scale. The 50G series is powered by FortiOS, the industry’s first converged networking and security operating system. This convergence enables businesses to efficiently and optimally secure today’s dynamic digital infrastructures. As a cornerstone of the Fortinet Security Fabric platform, the FortiGate NGFW works
seamlessly with FortiGuard AI-Powered Security Services to deliver coordinated, automated, end-to-end threat protection in real time.
