Wireless LAN (WLAN)

Secure Your Wireless Network

Wireless networks are a significant source of risk for most enterprises, due to the lack of robust security technologies and the use of a separate security infrastructure for wireless networks. Fortinet reduces your WLAN risk with a comprehensive, integrated security solution for your wireless and wired networks. We integrate all wired and wireless traffic into a single FortiGate security platform, giving you unmatched visibility and control of all network threats.

Flexible Deployment Options

You have the flexibility to choose between thick and thin access points (APs), all managed by the integrated Wireless Controllers in FortiGate platform that deliver comprehensive, proven threat management and policy enforcement. Fortinet's unique approach allows you to integrate security for your wired and wireless networks quickly and easily. You can manage all policies from a 'single pane of glass' management console, improving protection while simplifying your network. Our wireless security solution consists of three components:

FortiAP

FortiAP Access Points are affordable 802.11n-capable Thin APs that provide integrated security and WiFi client access on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz spectrums. The FortiAP series utilizes industry-leading wireless chip technology that enables the FortiAP to reach wireless association rates as high as 300 Mbps per radio and allows the coverage to extend twice as far as legacy 802.11a/b/g.

Fortinet consolidated security platforms deliver fully integrated security technologies in a single device, delivering increased performance, improved protection, and reduced costs. They act as a wireless controller while providing firewall, VPN, intrusion prevention, application control, web filtering and many other security and network technologies. There are FortiGate platforms for every size network, from small offices to global carriers and service providers.

How to Buy

Purchase Fortinet Products


Fortinet provides us with a secure environment in a simplified management scheme and very low maintenance. The performance of Fortinet's firewall is second to none. All the required security functions are truly integrated, and the ease of configuration of the FortiGate appliances allowed us to carry out the initial deployment within two weeks in spite of a relatively large and widespread installed base. Today, implementing new VPN tunnels with hotels is a matter of an hour or less. Our goal is to replace the existing ISDN connections from several thousand hotel customers with VPN connections.
