Product Overview
The Fortinet FAP-443K is a powerful enterprise-grade wireless access point engineered for indoor deployments that demand fast, reliable, and high-density connectivity. Supporting Wi-Fi 7 standards across tri-band frequencies (2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz), the unit leverages quad-radio architecture and 4x4 MU-MIMO to manage multiple high-volume data streams simultaneously. This makes it ideal for high-capacity environments such as campuses, offices, and venues with dense client distributions.
Equipped with flexible external RP-SMA omnidirectional antenna ports and 2x 10GbE Ethernet interfaces, this access point ensures high-speed backhaul and extensibility. With a maximum power consumption of 41.7 watts, it balances performance with energy efficiency. The Fortinet FAP-443K also complies with RoHS standards, is housed in a compact form factor (9.84" x 9.84" x 2.26"), and is backed by Fortinet’s limited lifetime warranty for long-term deployment confidence.
Note: Availability of the 6GHz band depends on regional regulatory authority approval, and its use may be restricted in certain markets.
