Fortinet FortiWiFi 40F-3G4G FortiCare Essential, 1-Year (FC-10-F40FI-314-02-12)

The FortiWiFi 40F-3G4G combines a next-generation firewall, integrated LTE modem, and dual-band wireless access point in one small-form appliance. That consolidation is an asset at remote retail sites and pop-up locations, but it also means a single hardware failure affects all three functions at once. The FC-10-F40FI-314-02-12 puts a 1-Year FortiCare Essential contract on that unit: firmware entitlement, a web-based support path, and a confirmed next-business-day hardware replacement for the full combined platform.

What FortiCare Essential Covers

FortiCare Essential for the FortiWiFi 40F-3G4G provides:

• Web-based case submission and support access during business hours
• Next-business-day response SLA for Priority 1 (service-down) incidents
• Next-business-day hardware replacement on verified failures (full unit: firewall, LTE modem, and Wi-Fi)
• Access to FortiOS firmware updates, security advisories, and the FortiCare portal

Who Buys This

FortiCare Essential suits remote and temporary sites where the FWF-40F-3G4G provides cellular failover alongside wired WAN, and where next-business-day hardware swap meets the operational SLA. Common buyers include retail chains deploying temporary store kiosks, event operators running short-duration secure wireless networks, and small businesses in areas where wired broadband is unreliable and the LTE modem serves as the primary connection.

Activation and Delivery

This subscription license is delivered electronically to the email address on file, typically within 0-1 business days. Register the key in the Fortinet FortiCare portal against the FWF-40F-3G4G unit serial number. Coverage activates immediately on registration. No physical hardware ships and no site visit is required.

FortiCare Essential vs. a Subscription Bundle

FortiCare Essential covers hardware support and firmware access only. FortiGuard services — IPS, antivirus, web filtering, DNS filtering, and application control — require a separate subscription. For sites running active threat inspection over both wired and cellular connections, the UTP bundle (FC-10-F40FI-950-02-12) and Enterprise bundle (FC-10-F40FI-809-02-12) package FortiCare Premium with the full FortiGuard stack in a single annual purchase that is typically more cost-effective than buying each component separately.
