The AP421E is used in open-plan offices or classrooms, for example. The AP423E supports MU-MIMO and is capable of a power throughput of up to 1.733 GHz when operating 3 devices simultaneously. The device has external antennas.

FortiAP access points are managed free of charge and centrally via the integrated WLAN controller of any FortiGate security appliance or via the FortiAP Cloud deployment and management portal, 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 enables easy management of wired and wireless security from a single glass management console, protecting your network from the latest security threats.

• Unified Management
  The unified management console simplifies operations and provides consistency for effective policy enforcement and compliance.
• Advanced Security Protection
  Wireless LAN security from the network security leader. Built-in firewall, IPS, application control and web filtering protect the WLAN from the latest security threats.
• Integrated Wi-Fi Security
  Protects the network from advanced wireless threats and meets PCI DSS compliance.

Highlights

Fortinet 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. 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
  Retailers can streamline in-store WLAN 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 WLAN challenging. A 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 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 WLAN controller of each FortiGate security appliance) connected to the access points ensures that patient safety is paramount while providing improved performance for wireless-enabled medical devices.
