Data Sheet
FortiAPTM Series

Highlights
· Unified management console simplifies operations, ensuring consistency in effective policy enforcement and compliance
· Wireless LAN security done right, from the leader in network security. Integrated Firewall, IPS, Application Control, and Web Filter protect the wireless LAN from the latest security threats
· Protects the network from advanced wireless threats and satisfies industry compliance such as PCI DSS

FortiLAN Cloud- or FortiGate-Managed Access Points
FortiAPTM access points are managed centrally by the integrated WLAN controller of any FortiGate® security appliance or through the FortiLAN Cloud provisioning and management portal. With the integration of the wireless controller functionality into the market-leading FortiGate appliance, these APs are perfect for campus and branch deployments. Fortinet's Security Fabric enables you to easily manage wired and wireless security from a Singlepane-of-glass management console and protects your network from the latest security threats.

Data Sheet

Use Cases
FortiAPs allow for a versatile collection of installation topologies with options to fit any enterprise.
Campus A single building with multiple floors, or a corporate or education campus with a group of large buildings. · High-capacity designs including Dual 5GHz and tri-band with Wi-Fi 6E allow a maximal
number of client devices to attach to the network at the same time without over-air congestion · Complete NOC functionality with network visibility and AIOps simplify a complex network deployment into a solution manageable by IT teams of any size
Branch Office / SD-Branch A highly distributed number of small sites, often with no on-site IT. · Built in NAC functions* allow secure onboarding of devices at remote locations where IT
doesn't have reliable visibility · Management orchestration with zero-touch deployment allows for quick and easy rollouts
without the need for skilled installers at each site
Remote Workers A remote AP installed at a worker's home or at micro-branch office space. · Split tunneling allows local traffic to remain local while sending other traffic to the data center
for inspection when needed · Desktop mounting options for wall-plate models allow the use of Ethernet as well as Wi-Fi
connectivity while leveraging the same secure tunnel
SMB Single site or small collection of sites with limited IT resources. · Built-in NAC functions* bring security to the wireless network with no need to install and
manage additional products · Network and security convergence decreases management overhead while keeping the
network secure
*FortiGate-managed installations only.

Data Sheet

Highlights
FortiAP 431G and 433G These high performing enterprise class extended frequency band Wi-Fi 6E indoor APs provide three radios and four spatial streams. These access points support the 6 GHz band, OFDMA, and a 5 Gigabit Ethernet port. The APs can provide 24/7 scanning across all bands while still providing access on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands or 2.4 Ghz and dual 5 GHz service or the AP can be configured to provide simultaneous access on 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and the 6 GHz bands. The integrated BLE/ ZigBee radio can be used for beacons and locationing applications.
Wi-Fi 6E | Tri-Radio 2.4 + 5GHz + 5GHz / 6GHz / Scanning | 8 Internal Antennas / 4 External RPSMA Connectors + 4 External Permanently attached Antennas
4x4 MU-MIMO | Up to 1148 Mbps + 2402 Mbps + 4804 Mbps
