FortiAP™-220A

Purpose-built with latest 802.11n hardware to deliver the highest data rates and user capacity while ensure that network security does not become your network bottleneck, the FortiAP-220A delivers the performance and versatility you need to provide unmatched security with a minimum of access points (AP). The Fortinet solution of FortiGate controllers and FortiAP access points delivers industry-leading security, performance, and scalability. The FortiAP-220A and supported FortiGate controllers automatically discover each other and wireless configuration automatically downloaded. This further lowers your total cost of ownership along with simple per-device pricing and a common management platform.

The versatile Forti-AP220A is targeted for indoor use for retailers, hotels, apartment buildings, and large enterprise as well as small offices or branch locations that require dedicated and simultaneous usage of 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz spectrum. This dual radio AP allows up to 14 virtual SSIDs all with different authentication and policy settings. The FortiAP also allows dedicated Rogue AP scanning on both 2.4 and 5GHz bands simultaneously or it can perform background scanning while acting as a WiFi hotspot or AP. FortiGate's wireless LAN controller allows you to choose from the widest range of networking and security technologies available, including Layer 7 application control prioritization, data loss prevention, and network access control. You get the flexibility you want to deploy the right layers of security to match your environment.
