FortiAP – Secure Wireless Access Points
Fortinet is known for security solutions that offer comprehensive and highest protection for both wired and wireless networks. 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. 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. 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.
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. As every FortiGate appliance (larger than model FG50x) from FortiOS 4.1. 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.
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. 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 FortiAP thin WiFi access point series includes models for every area of application, both indoor and outdoor.

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 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 built-in BLE/ZigBee radio can be used for beacons and location applications.
What is Wi-Fi 6E / 6 GHz Wi-Fi?
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 wider 1200 MHz spectrum provides greatly improved WLAN performance with significantly higher throughput and wider channels. It also offers tremendous efficiency, which is reflected in even more simultaneous connections, intelligent connection selection and more capacity.
FortiAP 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. By integrating wireless controller functionality with the market-leading FortiGate appliance, these APs are perfect for protecting your LAN edge from campus to branch offices. Fortinet's Security Fabric makes it easy to manage wired and wireless security from a single, slick management console, protecting your network from the latest security threats.
- Unified management
The unified management console simplifies operations and ensures consistency in effective policy enforcement and compliance. - Advanced Security Protection
Wireless LAN security from the market leader in network security. Integrated firewall, IPS, application control and web filtering protect the Wifi from the latest security threats. - Integrated Wi-Fi security
Protects the network from advanced wireless threats and meets PCI DSS compliance. - Deployment
FortiAPs enable a versatile choice of installation topologies with options to suit any business.
Highlights
Fortinet access points are designed for a wide range of deployments, from branch offices üto medium to large Büros, schools, universities, hospitals, hotels and large retail stores. The 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 FortiAP Cloud.
- Small/Medium Business
Single retailers can streamline the deployment of Wifi in stores by combining Universal APs and FortiAP Cloud Management. Combined with FortiDeploy for zero-touch deployment, this provides a cost-effective solution for retail IT. - Education
The education sector is at increasing risk from cyber attacks. This, combined with the requirements to protect minors from inappropriate materials, can make the use of Wifi a challenge. A Secure Wireless Controller (FortiGate) provides secure student access to learning resources, while FortiGuard services provide cybersecurity protection. - Healthcare
Patient safety is a top priority. Fortinet APs enable hospitals to improve patient safety by enabling vital applications such as telemetry that require low bandwidth but exceptionally high reliability. The dedicated wireless controller (integrated Wifi controller of each FortiGate security appliance) connected to the access points ensures that patient safety is paramount while providing enhanced performance for wireless-enabled medical devices.

- Small/Medium Business
Single retailers can streamline the deployment of Wifi in stores by combining Universal APs and FortiAP Cloud Management. Combined with FortiDeploy for zero-touch deployment, this provides a cost-effective solution for retail IT. - Education
The education sector is at increasing risk from cyber attacks. This, combined with the requirements to protect minors from inappropriate materials, can make the use of Wifi a challenge. A Secure Wireless Controller (FortiGate) provides secure student access to learning resources, while FortiGuard services provide cybersecurity protection. - Healthcare
Patient safety is a top priority. Fortinet APs enable hospitals to improve patient safety by enabling vital applications such as telemetry that require low bandwidth but exceptionally high reliability. The dedicated wireless controller (integrated Wifi controller of each FortiGate security appliance) connected to the access points ensures that patient safety is paramount while providing enhanced performance for wireless-enabled medical devices.
