Wi-Fi Solutions

Secure wireless LAN — protect your Wi-Fi edge with FortiAP

Fortinet wireless LAN equipment uses Secure Networking to deliver protected wireless access at the enterprise LAN edge. It integrates tightly with the Fortinet Security Fabric for built-in security, end-to-end network visibility and automated threat response — and NG TELECOM manages the whole estate from a single console, so administration time stays low.

Versatile secure wireless

• Unified management that simplifies operations and enforces consistent policy and compliance
• Ideal functionality for campus, SD-Branch and the remote workforce
• Flexible deployment — indoors or outdoors, FortiGate-managed or cloud-managed
• Converged wired and wireless LAN with no costly or complex licensing schemes

Thin edge security: FortiAP integrates with Fortinet SASE to secure microbranches, intelligently offloading traffic to a SASE location for comprehensive inspection at scale — extending enterprise-grade protection without extra appliances or agents.

Features and benefits

Security Fabric integration

Integration with the Fortinet Security Fabric extends secure networking all the way to the edge of your network.

Automation

Removing human reaction time from the equation improves network security at the access layer.

Zero-touch deployment

Fast, simple rollouts across sites — no on-site technical support required to bring an access point online.

Secure Access Service Edge

A built-in foundation for SASE, so security can be deployed easily at every network edge.

Scalability from 1 to 10,000 APs

A range of platforms makes the solution ideal for a single office or a multi-site estate.

Wireless presence analytics

Presence analytics track visitors and show path analysis — useful for hotels, retail and hospitality.

Secure wireless LAN use cases

SD-Branch

Deploying branches can be expensive and difficult. Using FortiAPs alongside Fortinet Secure SD-WAN creates a Secure SD-Branch.

Campus

Campus local-area networks can be complex. With FortiGate as the LAN controller, you reduce risk by converging networking and security.

Teleworker

Extend corporate network access securely to remote workers by deploying FortiAPs as remote access points.

Thin edge

Deliver secure networking at a remote location by deploying FortiAP with a remote security manager, offloading traffic to SASE for inspection.

High density

Reliable high-density wireless connectivity for hotels, venues, stadiums, arenas, campuses and large public spaces.

LoRaWAN & IoT

Secure IoT connectivity with an integrated LoRaWAN gateway, Wi-Fi access point and LTE connectivity in a single unified platform.

FortiAP models range from 2x2 to 4x4 with internal or external antennas, controlled by a FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall, FortiGate VM, FortiSASE or FortiEdge Cloud. We size, survey, install and manage the right models for your sites.

Secure networking

Converge networking and security for a network that is safer and simpler to manage

Growing a business while protecting a distributed infrastructure has never been more critical — or more complex. Modern networks are centres of innovation, and secure networking converges network technologies with AI-powered security across every edge to close security gaps and improve the user experience.

The platform

Secure and modern networking technology

Converging security and networking closes gaps and simplifies management, saving time and cost. Fortinet's entire firewall portfolio runs on one operating system, FortiOS, enabling a hybrid mesh firewall approach that also manages downstream devices such as Ethernet switches, Wi-Fi access points and 5G gateways.
