FortiAP 431G-F

FortiGate, FortiEdge Cloud, or SASE-managed access points

rnFortiAP™ access points are managed centrally by the integrated WLANrncontroller of any FortiGate® security appliance or through the FortiEdgernCloud provisioning and management portal. With the integration of thernwireless controller functionality into the market-leading FortiGate appliance,rnthese APs are perfect for campus and branch deployments. Fortinet’srnSecurity Fabric enables you to easily manage wired and wireless securityrnfrom a Single-pane-of-glass management console and protects your networkrnfrom the latest security threats.

Highlights

FortiAP 431G

• These high performing enterprise class extended frequency band Wi-Fi 6E indoor APs provide three radios and four spatial streams. These access points support the 6 GHz band, OFDMA, and a 5 Gigabit Ethernet port. The APs can provide 24/7 scanning across all bands while still providing access on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands or 2.4 Ghz and dual 5 GHz service or the AP can be configured to provide simultaneous access on 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and the 6 GHz bands. The integrated BLE/ ZigBee radio can be used for beacons and locationing applications.
