Fortinet FortiAP-432F

The FortiAP 432F is a triple-radio 802.11ax AP for outdoor environments with high endpoint density, including hotspots or social WiFi deployments. As a triple-radio and dual-band device, the FortiAP 432F supports simultaneous client connection with rogue AP scanning for PCI compliance.

FortiAP access points are managed free of charge and centrally via the built-in WLAN controller of any FortiGate security appliance or via the FortiAP Cloud deployment and management portal, also free of charge. By integrating wireless controller functionality with the market-leading FortiGate appliance, these APs are perfect for protecting your LAN edge from campus to branch offices. Fortinet's Security Fabric enables easy management of wired and wireless security from a single glass management console, protecting your network from the latest security threats.

• Integrated Wi-Fi Security
  Protects the network from advanced wireless threats and meets PCI DSS compliance.
• Deployment
  FortiAPs enable a versatile choice of installation topologies with options to suit any business.

Highlights

Fortinet access points are designed for a wide range of deployments, from branch offices to medium to large offices, schools, universities, hospitals, hotels and large retail stores. Access points can serve such a wide range of applications because they can be managed by any of Fortinet's control and management offerings: FortiGate, FortiWLC and FortiAP Cloud.

• Small/Medium Business
  Retailers can streamline in-store WLAN deployment by combining Universal APs and FortiAP Cloud Management. Combined with FortiDeploy for zero-touch deployment, this provides a cost-effective solution for retail IT.
• Education
  The education sector is facing increasing risk from cyberattacks. This, combined with requirements to protect minors from inappropriate materials, can make WLAN deployment challenging. A Secure Wireless Controller (FortiGate) ensures students have secure access to learning resources, while FortiGuard services provide cybersecurity protection.
• Healthcare
  Patient safety is a top priority. Fortinet APs enable hospitals to improve patient safety by enabling vital applications such as telemetry that require low bandwidth but exceptionally high reliability. The dedicated wireless controller (integrated WLAN controller of each FortiGate security appliance) associated with the access points keeps patient safety top of mind while providing improved performance for wireless-enabled medical devices.
