Enterprise WiFi has transformed from a transient network to a permanent fixture within all organizations. The data transported on our wireless networks span from classroom video conferencing to healthcare patient monitoring traffic to financial Point-of-Sale transactions. Expectations continue to rise for this always on, always everywhere network. Today, WiFi is no longer a convenience but a mission critical utility. Universal Access Points Fortinet offers the industry''s largest enterprise-class WiFi portfolio and blazing fast 802.11ac Wave 2 access points. The Fortinet Universal AP offer the ability to support all deployment options from on-premise to cloud management. This ability by our Universal Access Points to intelligently support stand-alone dedicated controllers (FortiWLC), integrated security controllers (FortiGate) and cloud management (FortiCloud) options, establish a new benchmark in flexibility, performance and security in the enterprise WLAN market. When paired with our industry-leading FortiGuard services, this next generation enterprise-class WLAN solution can protect your network from the latest cybersecurity threats while at the same time providing unmatched wireless performance. Education Deployment of large scale WiFi requires site surveys, channel planning and worries over cell sizes and transmit power. Fortinet''s Universal access points ,when paired with our dedicated wireless controllers (FortiWLC and MC), eliminates this work. This enables school administrators to simplify initial deployment or the adding of APs to support more students throughout the campus or in classrooms without the headaches of more wireless network planning.
