Product Overview

The FORTINET FORTIAP-432F is a robust outdoor wireless access point engineered for high-density and mission-critical networking environments. Featuring three independent radios—including one for 802.11b/g/n/ax (4x4), one for 802.11a/n/ac/ax (4x4), and another supporting 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wave 2 (2x2)—this tri-radio device enables powerful simultaneous multi-band operation. The result is enhanced coverage, performance, and reliability in challenging RF environments like campuses, corporate parks, or industrial sites.

This model offers extensive connectivity with dual Ethernet ports: one capable of 100/1000/2500 Base-T and the other supporting 10/100/1000 Base-T. The inclusion of Bluetooth/BLE and Zigbee radios further broadens this unit’s IoT capabilities, while a USB Type-A port and RS-232 RJ45 port allow for expanded device integration or out-of-band management. Its rugged outdoor design allows deployment in diverse weather conditions while supporting modern wireless standards for maximum throughput and client density.

Optimized for Fortinet’s Security Fabric architecture, the FORTIAP-432F integrates with FortiGate for centralized control and threat visibility. Organizations can take full advantage of secure, managed connectivity rollout across wide-area deployments, making this access point a strategic investment in scalable infrastructure.
