Overview:

The FAP-423E is our high-density 802.11ac Wave 2 access point. This enterprise class access point is ideal for large high-density environments such as a large office or classroom. The S423E supports MU-MiMO giving excellent performance throughput of up to 1.733 GHz and the ability to support 3 simultaneous devices.

The FortiAP-S series are cloud-managed access points designed for deployment in SMBs and distributed enterprise remote sites. Managed through the free FortiCloud provisioning and management portal, they eliminate the CAPEX and complexity of deploying WLAN controllers and management servers. Two models come with 3x3 internal antennas, and two are equipped with connectors for use with external directional or panel antennas.

Cloud or FortiOS-managed Smart Access Points

The FortiAP-S Series are the first Access Points of their kind to have UTM services built in. They are equipped with extra memory and a powerful processor that enables them to perform real-time security processing on the AP, providing complete protection against all manner of WiFi and cyber-threats at the network edge. With Fortinet’s award-winning security technology, the FortiAP-S series provides the most compact solution for complete content and application security in a WiFi architecture.
