Fortinet FortiAP 431F
4x4 Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), Indoor wireless AP: Tri radio, Internal antenna, 1 x 2.5 GE & 1 x GE RJ45 ports

Overview:

This high throughput enterprise class 802.11ax indoor AP provides three radios and 8 spatial streams. This top-of-the line access point supports OFDMA, a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port, plus an additional 1 Gbps Ethernet port for PoE diversity. The AP can provide 24/7 scanning across both bands while still providing access on both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. The integrated BLE radio can be used for beacons and locationing applications.
