Integrated Wireless Security and Access Solution
Fortinet’s FortiAP-112B wireless thin access point delivers secure, identity-driven WiFi client access
that creates a fortified WLAN network. Centrally managed by a FortiGate® or FortiWiFi™ platform
with its integrated wireless controller, FortiAPs allow you to deploy a comprehensive, integrated
security solution for your wireless and wired networks. By acting as a wireless controller, FortiGate
or FortiWiFi security platforms enable you to deploy comprehensive unified threat management
(UTM) protection over your wireless network.

• The same access point can be used as a Mesh wireless client enabling point-to-multipoint
coverage for large outdoor coverage. FortiAP includes dual Ethernet interfaces allowing
a Mesh node to bridge traffic to a remote security camera or bridge two LAN networks in
different buildings.
