FortiAP

FortiAP wireless access points are enterprise class, controller-managed Access Points (APs) that extend the complete content protection of FortiGate consolidated security platforms to wireless networks. Each FortiAP tunnels all of its traffic to the wireless controller integrated into FortiGate platforms, giving you a 'single pane of glass' console to manage all your wired and wireless network traffic. You get the benefit of increased visibility and policy enforcement capabilities while simplifying your network environment.
The FortiAP access points employ latest 802.11n-based wireless chip technology to offer high-performance wireless access, with integrated wireless monitoring and multiple virtual AP support on each radio. They work in conjunction with the feature-rich family of FortiGate controllers to provide a fortified wireless space that delivers complete content protection. The FortiGate controllers centrally manage radio operation, channel assignment, and transmit power, which further simplifies your deployment and management requirements.
The FortiAP series utilizes industry-leading wireless chip technology that enables the FortiAP to reach wireless association rates as high as 300 Mbps per radio and also allows the coverage to extend twice as far as legacy 802.11a/b/g. FortiAPs run on Power Over Ethernet (POE), eliminating the need for a separate power supply.
