Fortinet unveils new secure wireless access points.

No company likes to find out that their databases were compromised thanks to a security oversight in their internet connection. To that end, Fortinet has released seven new FortiAP Wireless LAN Access Points.

Featuring top rated threat prevention, the FortiAP Wireless Access Points deliver the security, throughput and resiliency to enable organizations to take advantage of the latest innovative wireless technologies. These security and performance features enable organizations to implement innovative wireless technologies like Point-of-Sale (POS) and inventory systems for retail, connected medical equipment and physician kiosks for healthcare, or simply deliver robust BYOD and mobility services without worrying about the integrity of their networks.

The FortiAP Wireless LAN Access Points integrate seamlessly with Fortinet’s FortiGate Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) and Unified Threat Management (UTM) products, eliminating the need for stand-alone network switches or wireless LAN controllers. The reduction of complexity distributed organizations to better adhere to compliance regulations and analyze customer behavior to compete more effectively in the marketplace.

Aside from Wi-Fi access, FortiAPs can also be paired with Fortinet’s FortiPresence Analytics solution, which delivers customer presence analytics to power the brick-and-mortar retail stores of the future. FortiPresence enables FortiAPs to function as a sensor that can analyze the location of foot traffic, distinguish between new or repeat visitors, provide historical and real-time data analysis and much more.

“The launch of the new FortiAP Wireless LAN Access Points further bolsters Fortinet’s industry-leading portfolio of hyper-secure solutions tailored for distributed enterprises,” says Michelle Ong, Fortinet’s Country Manager for Malaysia. “Fortinet’s solutions go a step further than the competition, providing advanced services like FortiGuard real-time threat research and intelligence, streamlining complex networking infrastructures to ensure no downtime or interference with existing applications, and enabling deep analytics that make an organization’s distributed network a competitive asset that delivers greater profitability.”
