Overview

FAP-432FR is ideal for hazardous environments such as oil rigs, industrial manufacturing, and transportation sites

This enterprise class 802.11ax ruggedized indoor/outdoor/industrial AP provides three radios and four spacial streams. As a top-of-the-line Wi-Fi 6 access point it provides OFDMA, a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port, plus an additional 1 Gbps Ethernet port with PoE out. The AP can provide 24/7 scanning across both bands while still providing access on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. The integrated BLE radio can be used for beacons and locationing applications.

FortiAP™ access points are managed centrally by the integrated WLAN controller of any FortiGate® security appliance or through the FortiLAN 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 Singlepane-of-glass management console and protects your network from the latest security threats.

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

Use Cases

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

Class I Division 2 (C1D2) certification means the FortiAP 432FR is approved for safe operation in hazardous locations where flammable gases, vapors, or liquids may be present under abnormal conditions. This makes it suitable for oil rigs, petroleum refineries, industrial manufacturing floors, chemical plants, and transportation hubs where standard access points cannot be safely deployed. The C1D2 certification is issued under UL and IEC standards.

The FortiAP 432FR uses six external N-Type antenna connectors: 4x dual-band Wi-Fi antennas and 1x dual-band scanning antenna, all omni-directional. Included antennas are External Dual Band N-Type Omni Directional (FANT-04ABGN-0606-O-N). Optional replacement antennas include FANT-04ABGN-1414-P-N (panel directional) and FANT-04ABGN-8065-P-N (sector) for specific coverage shaping requirements.

The FortiAP 432FR delivers up to 1147 Mbps on Radio 1 (2.4 GHz, 4x4 MU-MIMO) and up to 2402 Mbps on Radio 2 (5 GHz, 4x4 20/40/80 MHz or 2x2 160 MHz MU-MIMO). Radio 3 is a dedicated frequency scanning radio and does not serve client data. Maximum Tx power is 29 dBm on 2.4 GHz and 28 dBm on 5 GHz.

The FortiAP 432FR requires 802.3bt PoE (included PoE injector with reset functionality) for full 4x4 operation at maximum Tx power. It also accepts 802.3at PoE, which reduces transmit power to 17 dBm. Maximum power consumption is 25W without PSE output and 37.9W when using the 802.3af PSE output on the secondary 1G port. An 802.3af PoE injector GPI-130 or AC adapter SP-FAP400-PA can also be used.

Description

The FortiAP 432FR is an enterprise-class Wi-Fi 6 industrial ruggedized access point with Class I Division 2 (C1D2) certification for hazardous environments. Provides three radios with four spatial streams, six external N-Type antenna connectors, IP67 protection, and a 2.5G Ethernet port with secondary 1G PoE PSE output. Managed centrally by any FortiGate security appliance or through the FortiEdge Cloud provisioning and management portal.
