Fortinet Meru AP832e 802.11ac 2.60 Gbit/s Wireless Access Point

The Fortinet Meru AP832 is the industry's first 802. 11ac wireless access point that is capable of supporting two concurrent 3x3: 3ss radios operating in the 5 GHz frequency band. It is specifically designed for high-density deployments in large offices, schools, universities, hospitals, hotels, and large retail stores. With an aggregate data rate of 2.6 Gbps, the AP832 is able to meet the demands of the most data-intensive business applications, such as video and voice.

One of the key features of the AP832 is its ability to prioritize applications and improve the user experience using Meru's unique Context Aware Layers technology. For example, in a school environment, Learning Management System applications can be assigned to one dedicated channel layer, while online classroom video feeds can be dedicated to another channel layer. In a healthcare setting, life-critical applications, such as patient monitoring, can be dynamically assigned to one channel layer, while applications for doctors and nurses can be assigned to a second layer, and patient applications can be placed on a third channel layer.

Another unique feature of the AP832 is its roaming support. Through Meru's Air Traffic Control technology, the network is able to control roams, resulting in the industry's lowest roaming latency figures, essentially achieving zero-handoff roaming. Additionally, with Meru's single-channel technology, the AP832 can effectively double the available data rate and dramatically increase throughput availability for Meru customers.

In terms of wireless capabilities, the AP832 supports 802. 11ac (draft), 802. 11a/b/g/n/ac (draft), and operates in both the 2. 4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands. Overall, the Fortinet Meru AP832 is a groundbreaking wireless access point that is well-equipped to handle the demands of high-density deployments in various large-scale environments.
