1About FAP-U43xF

The FortiAP-U431F and FortiAP-U433F indoor access points are 802.11ax, 4x4 MIMO, tri-

radio, dual band (2.4GHz/5GHz) access points and are compliant with the IEEE 802.3at PoE

specifications. These access points are delivered with dual redundant PoE Ethernet ports and

ten internal and external antennas respectively.

Note: FAP-U43xF access points are NOT compliant with IEEE 802.3af PoE specifications. If

the FAP-U detects an 802.3af power source, the radios will be disabled.

FortiAP-U43xF supports configuring two radio interfaces in the 5GHz band. This option is sup-

ported for FAP-U43xF ONLY and is disabled by default;

The FAP supports MCA (Multi-Channel architecture) deployment options, such as MCA with

ARRP (Auto Radio Resource Provisioning). The APs are designed to meet the requirements

for even the most challenging deployment scenarios, ) providing greater bandwidths in high

density networks and enhancing user experience in data, voice, and video applications in

enterprise class deployments.

The FAP-U43xF is compatible with FortiWLC enterprise wireless LAN controllers, integrated

FortiGate enterprise firewall LAN controllers, and FortiAPCloud management platform.

Note: ARRP is disabled by default.
