Fortinet FortiGate 70G-PoE Firewall, Hardware Only (FG-70G-POE)

Branches that run Fortinet access points, IP phones, or IP cameras usually need a separate PoE switch to power them. The FortiGate 70G-PoE (FG-70G-POE) folds that job into the firewall: it is the same fanless, FortiSP5-based 70G platform, with four of its gigabit ports wired for PoE and PoE+ and a 60W power budget. For a small site, that can remove a box from the closet entirely. This listing is the hardware on its own, no FortiGuard subscription attached. FortiOS firewalling, SD-WAN, and VPN run at power-on; IPS, antivirus, and web filtering activate once you add a FortiGuard tier.

What you get with the appliance

You receive the FG-70G-PoE on FortiOS with integrated Secure SD-WAN and a built-in wireless controller. Four PoE/PoE+ ports deliver up to a 60W total budget, enough to drive a couple of FortiAP access points or several IP phones without a dedicated PoE switch. The platform carries the same FortiSP5 ASIC, TPM, signed-firmware switch, and BLE as the standard 70G, so security throughput is unchanged by the addition of powered ports.

FortiGate 70G-PoE specifications

Where it’s strong

The PoE model earns its place at sites that want one device to route, secure, and power the edge: a small retail store with a couple of access points and a camera, a satellite office with VoIP handsets, or a clinic where cabling space is tight. You still get the FortiSP5 performance of the standard 70G, 2.5 Gbps IPS and 1.3 Gbps threat protection, so consolidating the PoE switch into the firewall does not cost you inspection headroom.

Hardware alone, or a bundle?

Order the bare unit when you already have FortiGuard licensing to apply. For a new deployment, a FortiGate 70G-PoE bundle adds FortiCare Premium and a FortiGuard tier so the firewall lands ready to filter and block. Either way, plan your powered devices against the 60W budget so the appliance can supply them all at once.

Moving up

Need onboard logging plus PoE? The FortiGate 71G-PoE is the same platform with a 64GB SSD. If you do not need powered ports at all, the standard FG-70G covers the same routing and security at a lower price.
