FAP-234G-E - Fortinet 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6E Access Point
FAP-234G-EFAP-234G-E - Fortinet 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6E Access Point
FAP-234G-E Overview
FAP-234G-E is one of the FortiAP 234G enterprise class Wi-Fi 6E ruggedized indoor/outdoor AP, which provides three radios with internal antennas and two spatial streams. This access point supports the 6 GHz band, OFDMA, a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port, plus an additional 1 Gbps Ethernet port for PoE diversity. The AP can provide 24/7 scanning across all bands while still providing access on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands or 2.4 Ghz and dual 5 GHz service or the AP can be configured to provide simultaneous access on 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and the 6 GHz bands. The integrated BLE radio can be used for beacons and locationing applications. Region Code E
RF variables and settings of FAP-234G-E
By default two RF variables are defined for every network. One for indoor APs and one for outdoor APs. FAP-234G within a network can be configured to the corresponding RF settings via the FortiAP profile.
