Fortinet · FortiGate NGFW
FortiGate 70G
Successor to the 60F; 2x performance at the same price, SD-WAN-optimized.
Quick answer
Released in late 2024, the FortiGate 70G is the next-generation successor to the 60F. At the same price tier it delivers <strong>2x firewall throughput</strong> (20 Gbps) and <strong>5x SSL inspection</strong>. It uses the new FortiASIC SP5, supports 5G dongles and ships with enhanced AI-driven IPS.
FortiGate 70G is the first model in the new G-series (Gen-7) FortiGate family. It sits in the same pricing segment as the 60F but delivers a large performance jump.
The new FortiASIC SP5 (Security Processor 5) makes SSL inspection 5x faster and triples IPS throughput. 5G dongle support over USB replaces classic LTE. New branch projects should pick the 70G over the 60F.
G-series architecture advantage: the F-series (60F, 100F, 200F) was Fortinet's 6th hardware generation (NP6+CP9). G-series moves to the 7th; the SP5 ASIC delivers 30% lower power draw, 3x more IPS signature matches/second and AI-driven zero-day detection. An AI inference unit lives in the device; FortiGuard AI works locally as well as via cloud lookup.
5G dongle and mobile branch support is the 70G's distinguishing feature in the Türkiye market. The 60F's LTE module was fixed inside the device; the 70G accepts swappable USB-C 5G dongles. Turkish carriers (Türk Telekom, Vodafone, Turkcell) and their 5G modems can be inserted and removed at will. Site setups for fairs, events, temporary field offices, disaster recovery points become online in 15 minutes with a 70G + 5G dongle.
Optimized for SD-WAN: the 70G is Fortinet's most powerful entry-level SD-WAN device. Hardware-accelerated overlay tunnels (IPSec + GRE), application-aware steering (auto path selection for Office 365, Salesforce, Zoom), forward error correction and packet duplication cut WAN losses by 40–60%. It is the most economical starting point for chains moving from MPLS to internet + SD-WAN.
Investment protection and end-of-life roadmap: Fortinet is expected to announce 60F EOS mid-2027; the next 5 years of support continue (EOLS — End of Life Support — until 2032). New projects in 2025–2026 starting on 70G secure a 10-year lifecycle. 60F users have no urgent need to swap; planned migration is performed at refresh/capacity events.
FortiOS 7.4 LTS optimization: the 70G achieves best performance with FortiOS 7.4 (Long-Term Support). That release receives security patches until mid-2027 and includes AI-driven IPS, enhanced ZTNA Application Gateway and modern SASE integration. Sora Yazılım recommends FortiOS 7.4 LTS on every 70G deployment; experimental versions (7.6 GA) only on specific customer demand.

Use CasesNew branch Mobile field SSL-heavy SMB Retail Healthcare
At what scale is this model preferred?
Mobile branch on 5G dongle
A temporary mobile branch (trade fair, event, disaster recovery site) uses a Turkcell or Vodafone 5G dongle on a 70G for internet and corporate VPN. Up and running in 15 minutes.
Full HTTPS traffic inspection
A SaaS-heavy technology SMB keeps SSL inspection on without performance loss on a 70G — a scenario impossible on the 60F where deep packet inspection becomes practical.
Multi-branch retail SD-WAN
A 200-store retail chain replaces MPLS at every site with 70G + SD-WAN over economical internet links; monthly WAN cost dropped 55%.
Clinic-chain remote branch
A 30-clinic private healthcare chain uses 70G + IPsec VPN to a central HBYS at remote branches; KVKK-compliant patient traffic is encrypted end-to-end.
Who is it for?
20–50 user new branch projects, mobile field operations, multi-branch chains migrating to SD-WAN, customers planning 60F refresh.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this model
When was the 70G released?
FortiGate 70G launched globally in late Q4 2024. It became available from Türkiye distributors in early 2025; Sora Yazılım ships from stock.
Should I migrate from 60F to 70G?
If your 60F is running fine, no rush. 60F EOS (End of Sale) is expected mid-2027; the next 5 years of support continue (EOLS 2032). New projects get 70G; existing 60F users migrate during refresh/capacity events.
What is SP5 and why does it matter?
SP5 (Security Processor 5) is Fortinet's 5th-generation hardware accelerator. SSL/TLS inspection, IPS signature matching, VPN encryption and AI-driven zero-day detection all offload from the CPU. Same-sized devices deliver 3–5x the performance at 30% lower power.
Which 5G dongle brands are supported?
Fortinet-certified 5G USB-C dongles (Sierra Wireless, Quectel, MeiG) work with Turkish carrier SIM cards. Turkcell, Vodafone Business and Türk Telekom SIMs are auto-detected. Data-only SIMs recommended for field deployments.
Is there a Wi-Fi version, or a separate AP?
The 70G currently has no integrated Wi-Fi. For Wi-Fi 6/6E use a separate FortiAP — or the 90G-Wi-Fi model. The 90G-Wi-Fi is enough for a single-room small office; larger areas still need separate FortiAPs.
Price difference vs the 60F?
70G generally lists at the same level or +5–10% above the 60F. Performance uplift (2x firewall, 5x SSL inspection) makes it a net win. Sora Yazılım shares current pricing and license bundles in the proposal.
How does ZTP work?
Zero-Touch Provisioning: the device is unboxed, connects over ethernet or 5G to the internet, gets registered by serial number via Fortinet's FortiZTP cloud. FortiManager or FortiGate Cloud pushes the prepared template config. No on-site engineer required — 50+ branches open with one click.
Which FortiOS release is recommended?
For production, FortiOS 7.4 LTS — it receives security patches through mid-2027 and includes AI-based IPS, enhanced ZTNA Application Gateway and modern SASE integration. Use 7.6 GA only if a specific feature is requested.
Does the 70G support multiple WANs?
Yes. 2x WAN (ethernet) + USB-C 5G dongle = up to 3 simultaneous WAN connections. SD-WAN policies provide active-active load balancing or primary/backup failover; failover is sub-second.
Warranty and support?
3-year FortiCare standard, with progressive upgrades to FortiCare Premium 24x7 + 4-hour response. Critical-branch deployments may pick FortiCare Elite (5 years + named TAM). Spare parts support continues for 5 years after EOLS.
