FortiAP - For a secure WiFi infrastructure

With FortiCare Support, you get world-class vendor support for your Fortinet solutions. An ongoing FortiCare license allows you to install firmware updates for your Fortinet appliance directly from the device. In addition, in the unlikely event of an appliance failure, you can have the appliance pre-replaced by the manufacturer. Access to phone, chat and ticket support at any time of the day or night rounds out the package. If the scope of FortiCare support is not enough for you, Fortinet also offers shorter RMA times upon request. This way you can receive a possible replacement device already the next day, or within the next 4 hours. Before that, however, Fortinet must check your location and the associated delivery times in order to guarantee the offer.

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.
