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.

- Small/Medium Business
Retailers can streamline in-store Wi-Fi deployment 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
- Healthcare
Patient safety is a top priority. Fortinet Universal 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 universal access points ensures that patient safety is paramount while providing improved performance for wireless-enabled medical devices.
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 challenging. The integrated Secure Wireless Controller (FortiGate) ensures secure student access to learning resources, while FortiGuard services provide cybersecurity protection.

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.

Retailers can streamline in-store Wi-Fi deployment 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 challenging. The integrated Secure Wireless Controller (FortiGate) ensures secure student access to learning resources, while FortiGuard services provide cybersecurity protection.
- Healthcare
Patient safety is a top priority. Fortinet Universal 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 universal access points ensures that patient safety is paramount while providing improved performance for wireless-enabled medical devices.
