Integrated Wireless Security and Access
The Need for a Fortified Wireless LAN
Enterprises are looking to increase productivity through uninterrupted access to
applications and resources, without compromising security and agility. You want to
increase visibility and control of your wireless network traffic by enforcing the same
policies as your wired network and eliminate potential blind spots. You also need
a solution that meets compliance objectives by proactively blocking unauthorized
access, providing tools for business continuity, and following industry best practices.

Industry-Leading Wireless Technology
The FortiAP-221B and FortiAP-223B boasts the latest generation of wireless
hardware with encompasses a set of advanced technologies and features enabled
by 802.11n. This includes Low-density parity check (LDPC) encoding, Maximum
likelihood demodulation/Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC)/(MLD), and Transmit
Beamforming (TxBF). The end result is an impressive increase performance and
coverage of ~+100% at short range, ~+50% at mid range and ~+25% at long range.

FortiAP is IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n standards-based, and operates on both
2.4 GHz b/g/n and 5 GHz a/n spectrums. It utilizes industry leading wireless chip
technology that takes advantage of 2x2 MIMO (multiple input multiple output) with
dual transmit streams. This MIMO technology allows the FortiAP-221B to reach
wireless association rates as high as 300Mbps per radio and enables the coverage
to extend more than twice as far as legacy 802.11a/b/g. FortiAP can support up
to eight SSIDs per radio — seven for client access and one for scanning for rogue
access points — and uses multiple techniques to find available FortiGate controllers
over L2 or L3 networks.
