Fortinet FortiWiFi 50G-SFP Secure RMA, 1-Year (FC-10-WS50G-301-02-12)

Some compliance environments renew support contracts annually to stay aligned with audit cycles, and the FC-10-WS50G-301-02-12 puts Secure RMA on a 12-month term for the FortiWiFi 50G-SFP. When Fortinet confirms a hardware failure within the year, a certified technician comes on-site, destroys storage media under documented procedures, and provides a data destruction certificate before the unit is removed. Requires FortiCare Premium or Elite on the same device.

What Secure RMA Covers

The FC-10-WS50G-301-02-12 entitles the registered FortiWiFi 50G-SFP serial number to on-site Secure RMA service for 12 months from activation. Following a confirmed hardware failure, Fortinet dispatches a certified technician to perform DoD 5220.22-M compliant data sanitization on the failed device. A data destruction certificate is issued, and a replacement FortiWiFi 50G-SFP is dispatched separately. Local staff restore operations from a current configuration backup.

Secure RMA is a FortiCare add-on requiring Premium or Elite as the base plan. The table below shows which FortiCare tiers support Priority RMA add-ons:

Who Needs This Service

A 1-year Secure RMA term is well-suited to organizations that manage support costs and compliance obligations on an annual budget cycle. It also works for short-term project deployments, compliance evaluations, or situations where a branch site may change configuration within a year, making a longer commitment premature. The FortiWiFi 50G-SFP combines the firewall, a 10G SFP uplink, and Wi-Fi 6 capabilities in one device, so a single hardware failure can take down multiple services. Documented destruction on replacement keeps the process compliant.

Secure RMA vs. Other Coverage Options

The -212- series (4-Hour Hardware and Onsite Engineer) provides on-site engineer service with fast replacement but does not include the documented destruction component. The -210- series (Next Calendar Day Priority RMA) ships hardware overnight without on-site service. Secure RMA (-301-) is the option when the return or decommissioning of a device requires auditable data destruction, regardless of replacement speed. For longer terms, the 3-year (FC-10-WS50G-301-02-36) and 5-year (FC-10-WS50G-301-02-60) options offer equivalent coverage at a lower annual rate.
