Authorized Partner for United States (US)Branch offices often plan on three-year hardware cycles, and the FortiWiFi 80F-2R fits squarely in that window. A 3-year FortiCare Essential subscription aligns support coverage with the deployment plan, keeping firmware updates and hardware replacement active throughout without an annual renewal task.
FortiCare Essential delivers firmware and feature updates for the FortiWiFi 80F-2R, a hardware advance replacement program on a next-business-day basis, and Fortinet support portal access for ticket submission and software downloads. The tier does not cover telephone support or same-day Priority RMA; both of those step up to FortiCare Premium.
The FortiWiFi 80F-2R integrates dual-band wireless with branch firewall functionality. Essential covers the full appliance, including both the security processing and the wireless module, ensuring firmware stays current across both.
This product is the FortiCare Essential tier. The table below shows what each tier covers:
| Feature | Essential | Premium | Elite |
|---|---|---|---|
| Critical-issue response | Next business day | 4-hour callback | 15-min callback |
| Telephone support | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Hardware replacement program | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Priority RMA add-on eligibility | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Firmware updates, tools & portal | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Extended LTS support & Elite monitoring portal | — | — | ✓ |
The 3-year term is popular with SMBs and IT teams that align support contracts to their standard 36-month hardware refresh cycle. It suits single-unit deployments where internal staff handles day-to-day support and direct Fortinet telephone contact is not a requirement. MSPs working on fixed-term client contracts also commonly choose the 3-year term to match service agreement periods.
Electronic delivery: DataCenter360.ca sends the license registration code by email after order confirmation, typically the same business day. You activate through System > FortiGuard in the FortiGate GUI or through support.fortinet.com. No hardware ships with this order.
FortiCare Essential keeps the FortiWiFi 80F-2R hardware covered but does not include FortiGuard security services. If the appliance currently has no active security subscription, a UTP or Enterprise bundle combines FortiCare Premium with the full FortiGuard service stack in a single 3-year renewal, which tends to be the more efficient option.
DataCenter360.ca carries FortiCare Essential for the FortiWiFi 80F-2R in 1, 3, and 5-year terms. FC-10-W080F-314-02-36 is in stock and e-delivered on the same business day. For bulk or multi-site pricing, get in touch and we can provide a quote.
