Product Overview
Overview:
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 Single-pane-ofglass management console and protects your network from the latest security threats.
Unified Management:
Unified management console simplifies operations, ensuring consistency in effective policy enforcement and compliance.
Advanced Security Protection:
Wireless LAN security done right, from the leader in network security. Integrated Firewall, IPS, Application Control, and Web Filtering protect the wireless LAN from the latest security threats.
Built-in Wi-Fi Security:
Protects the network from advanced wireless threats and satisfies PCI DSS compliance.
Highlights - FortiAP 431G and 433G:
These high performing enterprise class extended frequency band Wi-Fi 6E indoor APs provide three radios and four spatial streams. This access point supports the 6 GHz band, OFDMA, and a 5 Gigabit Ethernet port. 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/ ZigBee radio can be used for beacons and locationing applications.
