Healthcare
Patient safety is priority one. Fortinet UTP APs empower hospitals to improve patient safety by enabling life-critical applications such as telemetry requiring low bandwidth but exceptionally high reliability. Our dedicated wireless controllers (integrated WLAN controller of any FortiGate security appliance) connected to our access points ensures patient safety remains paramount, while providing improved performance for wireless enabled medical devices.
