Fortinet FortiWiFi 70G-PoE FortiCare Premium, 3-Year (FC-10-FW70P-247-02-36)

Three years aligns with the typical hardware procurement cycle at most branch offices, and the FWF-70G-PoE-A is well-suited to that planning horizon. FC-10-FW70P-247-02-36 covers the unit for 36 months of FortiCare Premium: same-day hardware replacement if the appliance fails, 24×7 access to Fortinet TAC engineers, and full firmware rights across the term. It’s enough forward planning to lower the per-year support cost compared to renewing annually, without committing to a full 5-year cycle.

What FortiCare Premium Covers

This is a hardware support and TAC contract for the FWF-70G-PoE-A. FortiGuard security feeds are not included. The Premium tier provides:

• 24×7 phone and portal access to Fortinet TAC engineers
• 1-business-hour response for critical (P1) issues
• Same-business-day hardware RMA
• Priority RMA add-on eligibility
• Full access to firmware updates, hotfixes, and the Fortinet support portal

FortiCare Premium is the mid-tier of Fortinet’s three-level support stack. The table below compares it to Essential and Elite:

Who Buys the 3-Year Term

Organizations that plan on a 3-year hardware cycle, those that want to reduce per-unit support costs without the full 5-year commitment, and IT managers who want to align support end dates across a refresh wave are all typical buyers of the 3-year term. For PoE deployments where the FWF-70G-PoE-A powers downstream devices, the 3-year contract also covers the period when those devices are most likely to be in active use.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-FW70P-247-02-36 is delivered electronically by email within 0 to 1 business day. Register the license through the Fortinet Support portal using the FWF-70G-PoE-A serial number. Coverage starts on the registration date, not the purchase date.

FortiCare Premium vs a Full Bundle

This standalone support contract does not include FortiGuard services. If your deployment also needs IPS, URL filtering, or application control on the FWF-70G-PoE-A, the UTP or Enterprise bundles combine FortiCare and FortiGuard in a single SKU. This contract is the right fit when those services are already licensed separately or when only hardware support is required.
