Lumen Technologies (formerly CenturyLink)
It is ideal to have a fast, secure, and very stable 4g Wi-Fi network to expand the range of connectivity for users and increase the productivity and efficiency of work teams. It is not so good to implement it quickly as you need to learn how to use it very efficiently it is not plugged and played.

Fortinet
Fortinet FortiExtender is well suited to delivering fast 5G and LTE service. The cloud-based system is great so that our agency can manage the cloud from anywhere which is great during remote work. The Fortinet FortiExtender was easy to deploy and the system has been easy to manage. The Fortinet FortiExtender is less appropriate when it comes to the cost to implement and the customer support could be improved.

  • It is good when any problem occurred in our fiber cables but when it gets problematic then there isn’t any way out for us and its graphic interface is not helpful.
  • Its support team is useless and didn’t help in any regard.
  • The price is not in our favor.

By looking at the market of similar devices, we quickly recognized that Fortinet FortiExtenders are very reasonably priced; however, they provide top-level functionality that even some of the competitors don't have.
