Fortinet FortiWiFi 80F-2R FortiCare Premium, 1-Year (FC-10-W080F-247-02-12)

The first year of a FortiWiFi 80F-2R deployment is when TAC access matters most. Firmware issues, initial configuration questions, and hardware defect claims are concentrated early in the product lifecycle. The FortiWiFi 80F-2R 1-Year FortiCare Premium subscription (FC-10-W080F-247-02-12) ensures 24×7 TAC support, next-business-day advance hardware replacement, and firmware access are in place from day one.

What FortiCare Premium Covers

FortiCare Premium is Fortinet’s mid-tier hardware support service. It provides 24×7 access to the global Fortinet TAC, with a one-hour response for P1 critical issues and standard SLAs for other severity levels. When hardware fails, Fortinet ships a replacement unit the next business day on an advance-replacement basis — the new unit arrives before you ship back the defective one. This is a significant upgrade from Essential, which requires shipping the device first. Firmware and portal access are included for the full twelve-month term. Priority RMA is available as an add-on for Premium subscribers who need faster turnaround.

FortiCare Support Tier Comparison

This product provides FortiCare Premium coverage. The table below shows how the three FortiCare tiers compare across key support dimensions:

Who Needs This

This subscription is a fit for IT teams that have just deployed a FortiWiFi 80F-2R and want immediate hardware support coverage, or for organizations that review support contracts annually. The 80F-2R combines a dual-radio 802.11ac access point and a multi-service firewall in a single desktop unit — a hardware failure takes both functions offline at once. Having advance-replacement coverage in place from the first day of operation removes a significant operational risk.

Activation and Delivery

This license is delivered electronically to any country. DataCenter360.ca provides the contract number and registration instructions within 0-1 business days of purchase. Activate in the Fortinet Support Portal by registering the contract against the FortiWiFi 80F-2R serial number. The one-year term starts on the registration date, so activating promptly maximizes the coverage period.

FortiCare Premium vs a FortiGuard Bundle

FortiCare Premium is a support subscription, not a security subscription. It covers TAC access, firmware, and hardware RMA, but does not include FortiGuard threat intelligence services (IPS, antivirus, web filtering, or application control). If the FortiWiFi 80F-2R needs both security coverage and hardware support, the UTP or Enterprise subscription bundle for this model (FC-10-W080F-950 or FC-10-W080F-809) provides both in one annual SKU. FortiCare Premium standalone is the right choice when FortiGuard is already licensed or when only the support layer is needed.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca is a Fortinet Select Partner offering same-day electronic delivery on most license orders. For first-time FortiWiFi 80F-2R deployments, a 1-year term is a practical starting point: it gives you time to evaluate the deployment and decide whether a 3-year or 5-year renewal is the right next step. If the deployment is already underway and you need coverage started immediately, orders placed during business hours are typically fulfilled the same day.
