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 U221EV access point supports the 802.11ac Wave-1 standard and operates at a client association rate of up to 867 Mbps. The combination of the 802.11ac Wave-1 standard and its advanced features deliver a better data client rate over longer distances to your IT infrastructure. The unit has internal antennas.
The U-Series Advantage
Enjoy the advantage of single-channel technology by managing your U-Series FortiAP through a FortiWLController.
FortiAP-U access points are managed free of charge and centrally via the built-in Wifi controller of any FortiGate security appliance, via the also free FortiAP Cloud deployment and management portal or via standalone controllers (FortiWLC). Protect your LAN edge from campus to branch office with these high-performance APs.
- Universal Access Management>
Ability to intelligently support standalone controllers (FortiWLC), integrated security controllers (FortiGate) and cloud management options; and set a new benchmark for flexibility, performance and security. - Latest Wifi technologies

Highlights
Fortinet Universal Access Points are designed for a wide range of deployments, from branch offices to medium to large offices, schools, universities, hospitals, hotels and large retail shops. 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 FortiAP Cloud.
- 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 keeps patient safety top of mind 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.

The U-Series Advantage
Enjoy the advantage of single-channel technology by managing your U-Series FortiAP through a FortiWLC controller.
The FortiAP-U family is perfect for everything from a large campus to hundreds of branch offices, and offers a variety of form factors and power levels. FortiAP-U access points are free and centrally managed via the built-in Wifi controller of any FortiGate security appliance, via the also free FortiAP Cloud deployment and management portal, or via standalone controllers (FortiWLC). Protect your LAN edge from campus to branch office with these high-performance APs.
- Universal Access Management>
Ability to intelligently support standalone controllers (FortiWLC), integrated security controllers (FortiGate) and cloud management options; and set a new benchmark for flexibility, performance and security. - Latest Wifi technologies
Wi-Fi 6 technology with data rates up to 4.8 Gbps and OFDMA improves client throughput and overall network efficiency. - Unmatched security protection
Integrates with Fortinet's Security Fabric to provide unparalleled cybersecurity protection at the edge of the network.
Highlights
Fortinet Universal Access Points are designed for a wide range of deployments, from branch offices to medium to large offices, schools, universities, hospitals, hotels and large retail shops. 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 FortiAP Cloud.
- 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.

The FortiWLC-VM optimises traffic across Fortinet's controller-based access points and clients to support high density and performance while meeting the mission-critical wireless connectivity needs of enterprises. The FortiWLC-VM optimises client distribution and channel utilisation in both single and multi-channel deployments, maximising efficiency to make the most of available wireless spectrum.
In single-channel technology, all access points operate on the same channel, enabling ubiquitous coverage and making clients appear to be a single access point no matter where they are located. In addition, the controller controls how and when clients roam, not the client itself.
When ARRP (Automatic Radio Resource Provisioning) is enabled, the controller continuously monitors the frequency environment for interference, noise and signals from neighbouring APs, allowing the FortiWLC-VM to determine the optimal frequency power levels for each AP in the network.
