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 OAP832e
The OAP832e is an 802.11ac outdoor access point (AP) capable of
supporting a variety of external antennas. Designed for high-density
deployments such as stadiums, arenas, university campuses, hospitals,
convention centers, and warehouses. The OAP832e supports an
aggregate 1.75 Gbps data rate for demanding business applications
like video and voice.
The OAP832e access point allows administrators to prioritize applications
with Fortinet’s unique channel-layering technology to improve the user
experience. For schools, this means Learning Management System
applications can be assigned to a dedicated channel layer, while online
classroom video feeds can be carried on another channel layer. For
healthcare, life-critical applications such as patient monitoring can be
dynamically assigned to one channel layer, doctor and nursing applications
to a second layer, and patient applications to a third.
The OAP832e also provides unique roaming support because Fortinet
enables the network (not the client) to control AP client hand-off via our Air
Traffic Control® technology, resulting in the industry’s lowest roaming latency
figures — a true zero-handoff.
Additionally, Fortinet’s single-channel technology allows the OAP832e
to leverage the 802.11ac design for pervasive, real-world deployments
of 80 MHz channels, effectively doubling the available data rate and
dramatically increasing throughput. It should be noted that all the Fortinet
APs in this document can operate in multi channel mode as well as virtual
cell mode.
As with other Fortinet APs, the OAP832e integrates seamlessly with
FortiConnect and other applications to bring intelligent management and
resilient wireless services to your network.
