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 all while providing tools for business continuity by
following industry best practices.
Integrated Wireless Security and Access Solution
Fortinet’s FortiAP 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
protection of the industry leader in enterprise Unified Threat Management (UTM), in overlay
architecture, thus leveraging your current investment.
Industry-Leading Wireless Technology
FortiAP wireless access points are IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n standards-based, and operate on
both 2.4 GHz b/g/n and 5 GHz a/n spectrums. They utilize 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 to reach wireless association
rates as high as 300 Mbps per radio and enables the coverage to extend twice as far as
legacy 802.11 a/b/g. Each FortiAP can support up to eight SSIDs per radio — seven for
client access and one for scanning for rogue access points. They also use multiple discovery
techniques to find available FortiGate controllers over L2 or L3 networks.
