Wireless Product Matrix

April 2023

Large campuses, distributed enterprises, and small businesses all have diverse WLAN architecture needs.
That’s why Fortinet provides a variety of models, from 2x2 to 4x4, internal or external antenna, to address any
use case. Fortinet offers flexibility for configuration and control, either using our FortiGate security appliance as
a controller or our cloud platform FortiLAN Cloud.

Security

FortiGate Managed
The FortiGate Wireless Controller is built into all FortiGate models and does not require any
FortiGate
additional licensing to use. This results in security-driven networking, where the network is NGFW/UTM

converged with, and driven by security. The FortiLink protocol allows the FortiGate appliance
to extend its best in class security directly to the wireless edge. Base NAC features are also
Wired + Wireless LAN
included, giving more features and lower TCO. As part of our Security Fabric, the FortiGate Controller

Managed offering also allows for an extensive set of troubleshooting and reporting tools with Access

Non-FortiGate Managed
FortiLAN Cloud management allows for centralized hosted cloud control of standalone For-
tiAP devices, scaling from a handful to thousands of FortiAPs. A FortiLAN Cloud subscription
enables advanced features & troubleshooting plus additional configuration options and log
retention. FortiSwitch
