Overview
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 241K and 243K are enterprise-class Wi-Fi 7 indoor APs featuring four radios and two spatial streams. These access points support the 6 GHz band and come equipped with one 10 Gigabit Ethernet and one 1 Gigabit Ethernet port. They enable 24/7 scanning across all bands while still providing simultaneous access on 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz frequencies. The integrated BLE/ZigBee radio supports beacons and locationing applications.
