This enterprise-class, high-throughput 802.11ax indoor AP offers three radios and 8 spatial streams. This top-of-the-line access point supports OFDMA, a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port and an additional 1 Gbps Ethernet port for PoE diversity. The AP can provide 24/7 scanning across both BNDs while simultaneously providing access to the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. The integrated BLE radio can be used for beacons and location applications.
FortiAP access points are managed free of charge and centrally üvia the integrated Wifi controller of any FortiGate firewall or üvia the deployment and management portal of the FortiAP Cloud, 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 makes it easy to manage wired and wireless security from a single, slick management console, protecting your network from the latest security threats.

Highlights
Fortinet access points are designed for a wide range of deployments, from branch offices üto medium to large Büros, schools, universities, hospitals, hotels and large retail stores. 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
Single retailers can streamline the deployment of Wifi in stores 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 a challenge. A Secure Wireless Controller (FortiGate) provides 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 Wifi controller of each FortiGate security appliance) connected to the access points ensures that patient safety is paramount while providing enhanced performance for wireless-enabled medical devices.

FortiCare Premium Support
FortiCare Premium covers the same features as the former FortiCare Support. FortiCare Premium is therefore suitable for devices that require a 24x7x365 response within one hour for both critical and non-critical issues.
With FortiCare Premium 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. Fortinet provides technical support and return merchandise (RMA) services on an appliance-by-appliance basis with FortiCare for 24x7 support and timely problem resolution. FortiCare services support the entire Fortinet Security Fabric, enabling you to resolve diverse cross-product issues with a single solution. Flexible support options help your organization maximize uptime, security, and performance based on your business needs.
On request, we can also offer you FortiCare Essentials or FortiCare Elite. The features of the respective licenses can be found in the table below.
