threats
• Protects the network from
advanced wireless threats
and satisfies industry
compliance such as PCI DSS
FortiAP Series - FortiGate or Cloud-managed Access Points Data Sheet
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
• 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

FortiAP 831F
This high throughput enterprise class 802.11ax indoor AP provides three radios and 8 spatial
streams. This top-of-the line access point supports OFDMA, a 5.0 Gigabit Ethernet port, plus
an additional 1 Gbps Ethernet port for PoE diversity. 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 432F
This enterprise class 802.11ax ruggedized indoor/outdoor 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 23JF
This enterprise class Wi-Fi 6 wall plate AP provides three radios with internal antennas and
two spacial streams, as well as features such as OFDMA and is PSE-capable. 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.
Additional features include PoE out for downstream devices and RJ45 passthrough. This
access point can be installed in minutes, right over the existing wall plate , or with the optional
desk mount, makes a perfect remote / work from home AP.
