Product Overview
Overview:
This enterprise class Wi-Fi 6E ruggedized indoor/outdoor AP provides three radios with internal antennas and two spatial streams. This access point supports the 6 GHz band, OFDMA, a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port, plus an additional 1 Gbps Ethernet port for PoE diversity. The AP can provide 24/7 scanning across all bands while still providing access on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands or 2.4 Ghz and dual 5 GHz service or the AP can be configured to provide simultaneous access on 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and the 6 GHz bands. The integrated BLE radio can be used for beacons and locationing applications.
FortiAP™ access points are managed centrally by the integrated WLAN controller of any FortiGate® security appliance or through the FortiLAN Cloud provisioning and management portal. With the integration of the wireless controller functionality into the market-leading FortiGate appliance, these APs are perfect for campus and branch deployments. Fortinet’s Security Fabric enables you to easily manage wired and wireless security from a Singlepane-of-glass management console and protects your network from the latest security threats.
