Role of the FortiWifi-60D-3G4G-VZW:
A compact secure gateway that integrates wireless access and cellular backup, intended for retail, branch, and remote deployments requiring simple, resilient connectivity.
Evolving Traffic Patterns:
Remote and small sites now generate more encrypted traffic and host more cloud-centric services, increasing demands on local inspection and Wi-Fi capacity.
Modern Demands:
Successor devices should support higher Wi-Fi standards, multi-carrier LTE/5G failover, centralized SSID and security policy management, and enhanced threat detection capabilities.
Strategic Upgrade:
Select a modern edge solution that preserves the 60D’s wireless and cellular advantages while offering greater throughput, unified management, advanced inspection, and streamlined provisioning to reduce operational burden.
No Security Patches
Outdated devices won’t receive updates, leaving your network exposed to new vulnerabilities.
Lack of Vendor Support
Once support ends, there’s no access to Fortinet’s technical resources or RMA services.
Compliance Failures
Auditors may flag unsupported hardware as a violation of security and industry standards.
Operational Instability
Legacy devices may struggle with modern workloads, encrypted traffic, and cloud integrations.
Lifecycle Planning:
Track Fortinet GA → EOS → EOL → EOSL.
Seamless Migration:
Dedicated engineers ensure minimal downtime.
Future-Proof Security:
Replace with next-gen models aligned to your needs.
