FortiAP™ access points are managed centrally by the integrated WLAN controller of any FortiGate® security appliance or through the FortiEdge Cloud provisioning and management portal. With the integration of the wireless controller functionality into the market-leading FortiGate appliance, these APs are perfect for campus and branch deployments. Fortinet’s Security Fabric 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.

FortiAP 231K are enterprise class Wi-Fi 7 indoor APs provide three radios and two spatial streams. These access points support the 6 GHz band and have one 5 Gigabit Ethernet port. The APs can provide 24/7 background scanning across all bands while still providing access on 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands. The integrated BLE/ ZigBee radio can be used for beacons and location applications.

Note: For FAP-231K, use of the 6GHz band is subject to regional regulatory authority approval.

• Three-Radio 2.4GHz + 5GHz + 6GHz | 4 Wi-Fi Antennas + 1 BLE/Zigbee antenna + 1 GPS antenna
• 2×2 MU-MIMO | Up to 688 Mbps + 2.88 Gbps + 5.76 Gbps data rate

Highlights

• Unified management console simplifies operations, ensuring consistency in effective policy enforcement and compliance
• Built-in foundation for zerotrust network access (ZTNA) and secure access service edge (SASE), allowing you the flexibility to easily deploy microbranches with the security you need at the edge of your network
• Wireless LAN security done right, from the leader in network security. Integrated Firewall, IPS, Application Control, and Web Filter protect the wireless LAN from the latest security threats
• Protects the network from advanced wireless threats and satisfies industry compliance such as PCI DSS

FortiAPs allow for a versatile collection of installation topologies with options to fit any enterprise.

Campus

A single building with multiple floors, or a corporate or education campus with a group of large buildings.

• High-capacity designs including Dual 5GHz and tri-band with Wi-Fi 6E allow a maximal number of client devices to attach to the network at the same time without over-air congestion
• Complete NOC functionality with network visibility and AIOps simplify a complex network deployment into a solution manageable by IT teams of any size

Branch Office / SD-Branch

A highly distributed number of small sites, often with no on-site IT.

• Built in NAC functions* allow secure onboarding of devices at remote locations where IT doesn’t have reliable visibility
• Management orchestration with zero-touch deployment allows for quick and easy rollouts without the need for skilled installers at each site

Micro Branch

Ultra small sites that still fall under IT’s responsibility

• Can act as a SASE endpoint as a foundation for zero-trust network access (ZTNA)
• Simple management and provisioning through FortiSASE interface

Remote Workers

A remote AP installed at a worker’s home or at micro-branch office space.

• Split tunneling allows local traffic to remain local while sending other traffic to the data center for inspection when needed
• Desktop mounting options for wall-plate models allow the use of Ethernet as well as Wi-Fi connectivity while leveraging the same secure tunnel

SMB

Single site or small collection of sites with limited IT resources.

• Built-in NAC functions* bring security to the wireless network with no need to install and manage additional products
• Network and security convergence decreases management overhead while keeping the network secure
