This integrated single-device solution is perfect for small and medium business, enterprise branch offices and retail deployments.

Leveraging Fortinet's FortiOS network security operating system with FortiASIC processors, FortiWiFi provides a comprehensive and high-performance array of fully integrated security functions including:

• Firewall, VPN, and Traffic Shaping

FortiWiFi appliances are simple to deploy and manage through the web-based user interface, enabling secure wired and wireless network configuration within minutes.
