Fortinet FortiAP 122
802.11ac Wave 1 | Dual Radio 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz | 4 Internal Antennas

Overview:

Fortinet AP series Access Points (APs) provide a high-performance, premise-managed WiFi network with a broad range of 802.11ac Wave 1 and Wave 2 APs that ease deployment and scaling and offer a number of compelling quality-of-experience advantages. They also provide a complete portfolio of security services that offer additional means of protection to combat the ever-evolving threat landscape. Fortinet also offers an RF technology that uniquely manages the spectrum utilization, allowing it to dramatically simplify deployment vs competing solutions.

Application Control

Provides administrators with Application Visibility to prioritize applications to improve the user experience by guaranteeing more capacity to select groups, such as mission-critical applications or mobile point-of-sale (mPoS) devices.

Air Traffic Control

Provides sophisticated air traffic control mechanisms to govern station airtime so every client gets a fair turn on-air, which prevents the slowest, or the fastest, devices from hogging resources.

Single Channel Technology

Unique technology that manages spectrum utilization to overcome the interference-related deployment barriers commonly encountered in high density environments.

Highlights

Fortinet AP122

The AP122 is the first wall plate access point specifically designed to meet the ever-increasing mobile data needs of hotel guests and resident college and university students. With gigabit-data rates, the AP122 is perfectly suited for in-room deployment needs of the hotel, cruise line and highereducation residence-hall markets.

Designed to be placed in any location flush to a wall, the AP122 can be installed by standard service personnel using existing CAT5/6 cabling connected from a standard wall junction box. For wired connectivity, it features two 10/100 BASE-T switch ports to support a range of in-room IP device and user connectivity options. Additionally, one of the wired ports can operate as an IEEE 802.3af-compliant PoE Out port offering up to 13 watts of power, capable of powering devices such as IP telephones. This reduces costs in additional cabling, switch ports, and power sourcing equipment. An additional pass-through port allows connectivity for digital phones and a USB port offers options for future uses.

Like other Fortinet access points, the AP122 integrates seamlessly with our Network Manager, Fortinet Connect, and other application solutions to bring intelligent management and resilient wireless services to your network. The AP122 is ideal for supporting IP-based services such as VoIP, IPTV, high-speed Internet access and in-room device connectivity.

Additionally, Fortinet’s Virtual Cell, single-channel option uniquely allows the AP122 to support pervasively, full channel 802.11ac in real-world deployments, which more than double the data rate over legacy 802.11n solutions. This architecture also greatly simplifies RF coverage planning and significantly reduces wireless LAN (WLAN) deployment costs.
