It also offers tremendous efficiency, which is reflected in even more simultaneous connections, intelligent connection selection and more capacity.įortiAP access points are managed free of charge and centrally üvia the integrated Wifi controller of any FortiGate firewall or üvia the deployment and management portal of the FortiAP Cloud, which is also free of charge. The wider 1200 MHz spectrum provides greatly improved WLAN performance with significantly higher throughput and wider channels. Wi-Fi 6E is an extension of the Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard and enables the use of the 6 GHz frequency band in addition to the supported 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands. The built-in BLE/ZigBee radio can be used for beacons and location applications. The APs can provide 24/7 scanning across all bands and simultaneous access to the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, or 2.4 GHz and dual 5 GHz service, or the AP can be configured to access the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands simultaneously, and the 6 GHz band. The FortiAP-231G supports the new 6 GHz band, has OFDMA, a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port and an additional 1 Gbps Ethernet port for PoE diversity. The FortiAP thin WiFi access point series includes models for every area of application, both indoor and outdoor. In many application scenarios, it may not even be necessary to install cabling up to the workstation, as the throughput rates of the WiFi solution are often equivalently high. The high performance and large range of the new FortiAP series makes it easy and cost-effective to set up a highly secure and powerful WiFi infrastructure. onwards has this wireless controller functionality, existing gateways can be extended to include this feature by a simple operating system update - eliminating the need to purchase an additional platform with its own administration interface. As every FortiGate appliance (larger than model FG50x) from FortiOS 4.1. This integration makes it possible to monitor network access, update rule sets easily and quickly, and continuously audit traffic and compliance from a single console. All WiFi traffic is thus routed via the FortiGate appliance's UTM engines on an identity-based basis, where it is analysed accordingly and only authorised connections are allowed. By combining a wireless controller with a FortiGate platform (larger than model FG50x), the security level of the wired LAN is automatically transferred to the WiFi environment. The new series of thin access points combined with a variety of wireless controllers in each FortiGate appliance provides high-performance network access with integrated content security.

Fortinet is known for security solutions that offer comprehensive and highest protection for both wired and wireless networks.
