Product Overview
The Fortinet FortiAP-432G is a ruggedized outdoor wireless access point engineered for enterprise-grade wireless environments requiring reliable connectivity and maximum performance. With a tri-radio architecture, it supports three concurrent streams: a 4x4 802.11b/g/n/ax radio, a 4x4 802.11a/n/ac/ax radio, and a 2x2 6GHz radio supporting 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax, delivering flexibility in deployment and efficient spectrum utilization.
Designed for outdoor use, the FortiAP-432G is ideal for campus-wide coverage, outdoor venues, and industrial environments. The unit's ability to leverage Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) across multiple bands ensures lower latency, improved bandwidth, and better client handling. Note: 6GHz band functionality is subject to regional regulations and may not be available in all areas.
Seamlessly integrating with Fortinet's FortiGate infrastructure, this access point provides centralized security and simplified network management, along with top-tier reliability and performance in challenging installations.
