Fortinet FortiWiFi 81F-2R-3G4G-DSL FortiSASE Subscription, 1-Year (FC-10-W81FS-595-02-12)

Branch offices running the FortiWiFi 81F-2R-3G4G-DSL handle on-site firewall and Wi-Fi security well, but cloud-bound and internet-destined traffic from remote workers connected through the appliance often sits outside a consistent policy perimeter. FC-10-W81FS-595-02-12 addresses that directly. This 1-year FortiSASE subscription enrolls the FortiWiFi 81F-2R-3G4G-DSL as a Thin Edge node in Fortinet’s cloud-delivered SASE platform, routing traffic to the nearest FortiSASE point of presence (PoP) for deep inspection instead of backhauling it to a central data centre. All users and devices at the branch get the same policy coverage as remote workers with FortiClient installed.

What This Subscription Covers

FC-10-W81FS-595-02-12 combines four components into a single annual licence:

• FortiSASE Cloud Management: the FortiWiFi 81F-2R-3G4G-DSL is enrolled and managed from the unified FortiSASE console. Firmware updates, security policies, and traffic monitoring all sit in one place, with no separate FortiManager required for this site.
• Cloud Data Transfer: bandwidth allocation for security inspection at FortiSASE PoPs. The subscription provides capacity for the appliance’s traffic to pass through the closest PoP, keeping latency low while applying NGFW-grade security in the cloud.
• FortiGuard AI Security Services: Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Universal ZTNA, inline CASB, Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS), DNS filtering, intrusion prevention, anti-malware, and botnet/C&C filtering. All threat intelligence is continuously updated by FortiGuard Labs’ AI/ML engine.
• FortiCare Premium Support: 24×7 telephone support, advanced hardware replacement eligibility, and access to firmware updates for the full term of the subscription.

Who Needs This Subscription

The FortiWiFi 81F-2R-3G4G-DSL is purpose-built for distributed locations. Its interface set includes 8 GE RJ45 LAN ports, 2 dedicated WAN ports, an embedded DSL module, an integrated 3G/4G/LTE modem with dual SIM slots, dual-radio 802.11ax Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), and 128 GB of onboard storage, all in a desktop/wallmount chassis. It suits branch offices, retail sites, or remote facilities where wired WAN may be unreliable and LTE serves as a failover path.

FC-10-W81FS-595-02-12 fits when:

• The organisation already runs FortiSASE for remote users and wants the branch location on the same platform and management console.
• Cloud-managed security is preferred over per-appliance FortiGuard subscription management.
• The branch has mixed or BYOD devices that benefit from agentless or thin-client SASE coverage.
• The site needs secure access to private corporate applications via ZTNA without a separate VPN gateway.

Activation and Electronic Delivery

Fortinet delivers FC-10-W81FS-595-02-12 as an electronic licence key. After the order is confirmed, the activation code arrives by email within the same business day in most cases. To activate, the licence is applied through the FortiCare portal and the FortiWiFi 81F-2R-3G4G-DSL is enrolled into the FortiSASE console. No physical media ships; the subscription is valid worldwide. A Fortinet support account (FortiCare login) is required for activation and enrolment.

FortiSASE vs. Standard FortiGuard Bundles

The choice between FC-10-W81FS-595-02-12 and a FortiGuard bundle depends on where traffic inspection should happen. A standard UTP bundle (FC-10-W81FS-950-02-12) or Enterprise bundle (FC-10-W81FS-809-02-12) keeps inspection local, using the FortiWiFi 81F-2R-3G4G-DSL’s own 1.4 Gbps IPS and 900 Mbps threat-protection capacity. This is the right model for sites with predictable, local traffic and stable WAN links.

FC-10-W81FS-595-02-12 offloads inspection to FortiSASE PoPs and adds cloud-managed ZTNA, CASB, and SWG. It works best when the organisation wants branch traffic under the same SASE policies already protecting remote workers, or when centralised visibility across many branch sites is a priority. The two approaches are mutually exclusive per appliance; the FortiWiFi 81F-2R-3G4G-DSL operates in one mode at a time.
