Overview of Fortinet FortiAP 221E Wireless Access Point (FAP-221E-A) | New
The Fortinet FortiAP 221E Wireless Access Point (FAP-221E-A) supports data transfer rates of up to 867 Mbps. The 2x2 MU-MIMO functionality alleviates network administrators' aggravation when customers connect many devices. Aside from enabling gigabit Wi-Fi®, the 802.11ac Wave 2 allows users to connect and disconnect from the network without delay. The operational power usage is 12.36 watts, which keeps energy consumption low while providing continuous internet connection. For compatibility with older and newer appliances, the dual-band wireless access point supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.
Aside from lowering installation costs, PoE support allows you to monitor and operate devices over the internet. Internal antennae allow signals to flow spherically, eliminating dead zones and providing comprehensive coverage. With the enterprise-class access point, you may roam freely without losing signals. Wi-Fi security is built in and protects against sophisticated wireless threats. With the provided wall and ceiling mounting kits, installing the WAP is simple.
Key Features of Fortinet FortiAP 221E Wireless Access Point
