Product Overview
The Fortinet FortiAP-431G is a next-generation indoor wireless access point built for high-density enterprise networks. Featuring a tri-radio design, this device supports the latest Wi-Fi 6E standard (IEEE 802.11ax), covering the 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz frequency bands. Each radio operates with four spatial streams, helping maximize throughput and enable seamless performance in environments with heavy user demands. Additionally, the device supports dual 5GHz operation, ensuring flexibility in crowded RF spaces.
The FortiAP-431G is optimized for Fortinet's Security-Driven Networking and integrates easily into SD-Branch and SASE architectures. With zero-touch provisioning and centralized control via FortiGate, it boosts operational efficiency. Note that 6GHz band availability is region-dependent, subject to local regulatory authority.
Built in Taiwan, the FortiAP-431G offers enterprise-grade performance with secure, reliable connectivity suited for modern wireless infrastructure demands.
