FAP-234F-N is classified into the Fortinet FortiAP 234F series wireless access point, which is the enterprise class Wi-Fi 6 ruggedized indoor/outdoor AP that provides three radios with internal antennas and two special streams, as well as features such as OFDMA and dual 1 Gbps Ethernet ports. The AP can provide 24/7 scanning across both bands while still providing access on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. The integrated BLE radio can be used for beacons and locationing applications. Region Code N
FAP-234F access points comply with ISED radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 43cm between the radiator & your body.
