Fortinet FortiAP 23JK
2x2 Indoor Tri-radio 11be 6Ghz Capable Desktop APs

Overview:

FortiAP™ access points are managed centrally by the integrated WLAN controller of any FortiGate® security appliance or through the FortiEdge Cloud provisioning and management portal. With the integration of the wireless controller functionality into the market-leading FortiGate appliance, these APs are perfect for campus and branch deployments. Fortinet’s Security Fabric enables you to easily manage wired and wireless security from a Single-pane-of-glass management console and protects your network from the latest security threats.

FortiAP 23JK is enterprise class Wi-Fi 7 indoor wall plate AP provide three radios and two spatial streams. These access points support the 6 GHz band and have one 10 Gigabit Ethernet and three 1 Gigabit Ethernet ports and one port supports the PSE OUT. The APs can provide 24/7 background scanning across all bands while still providing access on 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands. The integrated BLE/ ZigBee radio can be used for beacons and location applications.

Note: For FAP-23JK, use of the 6GHz band is subject to regional regulatory authority approval.

• Three-Radio 2.4GHz + 5GHz + 6GHz + Scan | 4 Wi-Fi Antennas + 1 BLE/ZigBee antenna
• 2x2 MU-MIMO | Up to 688 Mbps + 2.88 Gbps + 5.76 Gbps data rate

Use Cases:

FortiAPs allow for a versatile collection of installation topologies with options to fit any enterprise.

Campus

A single building with multiple floors, or a corporate or education campus with a group of large buildings.

• High-capacity designs including Dual 5GHz and tri-band with Wi-Fi 6E allow a maximal number of client devices to attach to the network at the same time without over-air congestion
• Complete NOC functionality with network visibility and AIOps simplify a complex network deployment into a solution manageable by IT teams of any size

---

Branch Office / SD-Branch

A highly distributed number of small sites, often with no on-site IT.

• Built in NAC functions* allow secure onboarding of devices at remote locations where IT doesn’t have reliable visibility
• Management orchestration with zero-touch deployment allows for quick and easy rollouts without the need for skilled installers at each site

---

Micro Branch

Ultra small sites that still fall under IT’s responsibility

• Can act as a SASE endpoint as a foundation for zero-trust network access (ZTNA)
• Simple management and provisioning through FortiSASE interface

---

Remote Workers

A remote AP installed at a worker’s home or at micro-branch office space.

• Split tunneling allows local traffic to remain local while sending other traffic to the data center for inspection when needed
• Desktop mounting options for wall-plate models allow the use of Ethernet as well as Wi-Fi connectivity while leveraging the same secure tunnel

---

SMB

Single site or small collection of sites with limited IT resources.

• Built-in NAC functions* bring security to the wireless network with no need to install and manage additional products
• Network and security convergence decreases management overhead while keeping the network secure

*FortiGate-managed installations only.
