Hi all!

Attached is a new solution brief you might be interested in, covering our new Cloud-managed Enterprise Wi-Fi solution with FortiCloud and the new FortiAP-S series access points.

We're really interested to hear your feedback on the solution, so tell us what you think!

Thanks

How easy is it to put into an existing Wi-Fi network slowly over time?  Can I replace one or two APs as they "wear out," or do I need to start with only FortiAPs?

[MattDe_V]

Hi Ross,

Great question!

You could roll-out new FortiAP-S slowly over time into your environment if necessary.  As long as they advertise the same SSID details as your existing APs, it would work OK.  There would be a small issue for clients when they roam between a FortiAP-S and your other APs though.  Only the FortiAP-S would have the deep secutity protection too, and your old APs would be unprotected.

So in short, it would technically work, but you would get a better result if you replace all of your APs with FortiAP-S.

I have other questions now that that's been answered.  Can I call in to Fortinet, or is there a group of people workign on reaching out to the participants of the webinar?

Hi Ross,

Someone will reach out to you, but if you'd like to send me your details (location, phone number, email) via a private message, I will accelerate the process and make sure someone contacts you ASAP.

Thanks for joining the webinar, I hope you found it valuable.
