The Need for a Fortified Wireless LAN
Enterprises are looking to increase productivity through uninterrupted access to
applications and resources, without compromising security and agility. You want to
increase visibility and control of your wireless network traffic by enforcing the same
policies as your wired network and eliminate potential blind spots. You also need
a solution that meets compliance objectives by proactively blocking unauthorized
access, providing tools for business continuity, and following industry best practices.
Integrated Wireless Security and Access Solution
Fortinet’s FortiAP-221B and FortiAP-223B wireless thin access points deliver
secure, identity-driven WiFi client access that creates a fortified WLAN network.
Centrally managed by a FortiGate® or FortiWiFi™ platform with its integrated wireless
controller, FortiAPs allow you to deploy a comprehensive, integrated security solution
for your wireless and wired networks. By acting as a Wireless Controller, FortiGate
or FortiWiFi security platforms enable you to deploy comprehensive unified threat
management (UTM) protection over your wireless network.
Industry-Leading Wireless Technology
The FortiAP-221B and FortiAP-223B boasts the latest generation of wireless
hardware with encompasses a set of advanced technologies and features enabled
by 802.11n. This includes Low-density parity check (LDPC) encoding, Maximum
likelihood demodulation/Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC)/(MLD), and Transmit
Beamforming (TxBF). The end result is an impressive increase performance and
coverage of ~+100% at short range, ~+50% at mid range and ~+25% at long range.
FortiAP is IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n standards-based, and operates on both
2.4 GHz b/g/n and 5 GHz a/n spectrums. It utilizes industry leading wireless chip
technology that takes advantage of 2x2 MIMO (multiple input multiple output) with
dual transmit streams. This MIMO technology allows the FortiAP-221B to reach
wireless association rates as high as 300Mbps per radio and enables the coverage
to extend more than twice as far as legacy 802.11a/b/g. FortiAP can support up
to eight SSIDs per radio — seven for client access and one for scanning for rogue
access points — and uses multiple techniques to find available FortiGate controllers
over L2 or L3 networks.
Differentiating Features & Benefits
Enterprise Unified Threat Management Protects your network with the widest range of security and networking technologies
seamlessly integrated into a single device: Firewall, IPS, Application Control, VPN, Web
Filtering, and many others.
Application-Layer Quality of Service Going above and beyond Wireless Multimedia Extensions (WME) by offering layer 7 traffic
shaping and application use control.
Robust Rogue AP Control Industry’s most comprehensive monitoring, detection and suppression of rogue APs for
PC DSS compliance.
“Single Pane of Glass” Management Console Unmatched visibility and control of all wired and wireless network traffic that eliminates
blindspots in your security infrastructure and ensures consistent and effective policy
enforcement and compliance.
TX Beam Forming (TxBF) and Maximal
Ratio Combining (MRC)
Leads to wider coverage and optimum performance due to extended Rate over a
longer range.
