The FortiAP-U family offers a wide range of models with the additional power of FortiGuard services and the flexibility of dual 5 GHz support for Wi-Fi 6 APs. Perfect for everything from a large campus to hundreds of branch locations, the FortiAP-U family has a variety of form factors and performance levels. FortiAP-U access points are managed centrally by the integrated WLAN controller of any FortiGate® security appliance, through the FortiLAN Cloud provisioning and management portal, or through standalone controllers (FortiWLC). Protect your LAN Edge from the campus to the branch with these high capacity capable APs.
Ability to intelligently support integrated security controllers (FortiGate), and cloud management options with FortiGuard services at the edge; and establish a new benchmark in flexibility, performance, and security.
Wi-Fi 6 technology with data rates of up to 4.8 Gbps and OFDMA improves client throughput and overall network efficiency.
Integrates with Fortinet’s Security Fabric, providing unparalleled cybersecurity protection at the network edge.
This enterprise class Wi-Fi 6 ruggedized indoor/outdoor AP provides three radios with internal antennas as well as features such as OFDMA and dual 1 Gbps Ethernet ports. The AP can be configured for dual 5 GHz band access while still providing coverage for devices on the 2.4 GHz band, or can be configured to offer dedicated scanning. The integrated BLE radio can be used for beacons and locationing applications.
