Ease of use

■

Connects easily with no additional requirements for software, 

drivers, and interfaces.

■

Offers the simplicity of plug-and-play functionality in a best-of-

breed technology.

■

Allows your business to handily keep up with changes in size, 

locations, and business needs with a 3G device that can  be 

deployed at any site protected by an XTM 2 or 3 Series firewall or 

an Edge e-Series firewall.

■

 Because the 3G Extend is a separate unit from the firewall, it  

can be positioned in whatever location has the best cellular 

connectivity.

How it works

■

Purchase a WatchGuard 3G Extend wireless bridge when you 

buy an XTM 2 or 3 Series appliance – or buy a 3G Extend device 

by itself as an upgrade for an existing XTM 2 or 3 Series, or 

Edge e-Series appliance. Add a cellular modem (provided by 

your ISP when you sign up for service), follow the simple set-up 

instructions, and you’re ready to go. It’s that easy.
