Overview:

FortiAP Cloud Overview

Managing standalone access points can be a logistical challenge. Network administrators need to deploy, monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize their wireless network on a continual basis. FortiAP management via FortiAP Cloud centralizes the lifecycle management of standalone FortiAPs with a simple, intuitive, and easy-to-use cloud interface that is accessible from anywhere.

FortiAP Universal access points are managed centrally by the FortiAP Cloud provisioning and management portal, the integrated WLAN controller of any FortiGate security appliance, or by the FortiWLC dedicated Wireless LAN Controller platform.

FortiAP U431F and U433F

These enterprise class 802.11ax indoor APs provide three radios. These top-of-the-line access points provide OFDMA, a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port plus an additional 1 Gbps Ethernet port for PoE diversity. The APs can be configured for dual 5 GHz band access while still providing coverage for devices on the 2.4 GHz band, or can be configured to offer dedicated scanning. The integrated BLE radio can be used for beacons and locationing applications.

  • 802.11ax
  • Tri-Radio 5 GHz + 5 GHz + 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz + 2.4 GHz + scanning
  • 10 Antennas
  • 4x4 MIMO
  • Up to 4,804 Mbps + 4,804 Mbps + 300 Mbps

Universally Manageable Access Points

Fortinet’s FortiAP-U Series offers a wide range of Access Points capable of being managed by any of Fortinet’s controller and management options: Cloud, FortiOS, or WLAN Controller. Perfect from everything from a large campus to hundreds of branch locations. Access Points are available across the performance spectrum up to the fastest Wi-Fi 6 4x4:4 devices.

Unified Management

Universal Access Management
Ability to intelligently support stand-alone controllers (FortiWLC), integrated security controllers (FortiGate) and cloud management options, establish a new benchmark in flexibility, performance and security.

Latest Wi-Fi technologies
Wi-Fi 6 technology with data rates of up to 4.8 Gbps and OFDMA improves client throughput and overall network efficiency.

Advanced Security Protection

Unmatched Security Protection
Integrates with Fortinet’s Security Fabric providing unparalleled cybersecurity protection at the network edge.

Deployments:

Fortinet Universal access points are designed to support a variety of deployments from branches, to medium to large offices, schools, universities, hospitals, hotels, and large retail stores. The Universal access points can serve such a wide range of applications because they can be managed by any of Fortinet’s control and management offerings: FortiGate, FortiWLC, and FortiCloud.

Universal Access Management

Education

The Education sector is at rising risk from cyber attacks. This in conjunction with requirements to protect minors from inappropriate materials can make deploying wireless a challenge. Our integrated secure wireless controller (FortiGate) ensures secure student access to learning resources while FortiGuard services provides cybersecurity protection.

Fortinet Universal access points for education

Healthcare

Patient safety is priority one. Fortinet Universal APs empower hospitals to improve patient safety by enabling life-critical applications such as telemetry requiring low bandwidth but exceptionally high reliability. Our dedicated wireless controllers (FortiWLC) connected to our Universal access points ensures patient safety remains paramount, while providing improved performance for wireless enabled medical devices.

Fortinet Universal access points for Healthcare

Small/Medium Business

Retailers can streamline WiFi store deployments through the combination of Universal APs and FortiCloud management. This, in combination with FortiDeploy for zero-touch provisioning and deployment offers a cost effective solution for retail IT.
