The FortiAP 320C is a dual-radio 802.11ac AP for high density environments. Designed with dual redundant PoE Ethernet ports to provide maximum resiliency, this AP is ideal for mission-critical environments such as hospitals and manufacturing facilities. The plenum-rated enclosure and extended temperature range also allows deployment in non-temperature controlled warehouses.
FortiAP access points are managed centrally by the integrated WLAN controller of any FortiGate® security appliance or can be managed through the free FortiCloud provisioning and management portal. With the integration of the wireless controller functionality into the market leading FortiGate appliance, Fortinet delivers a true Unified Access Layer. This enables you to easily manage wired and wireless security from a Single-pane-of-glass management console and protects your network from the latest security threats.
