Fortinet FortiWiFi 81F-2R-3G4G-POE FortiCare Premium, 3-Year (FC-10-W81FD-247-02-36)

A three-year support contract aligns with the budget and procurement cycles many organizations run. The FortiWiFi 81F-2R-3G4G-POE 3-Year FortiCare Premium (FC-10-W81FD-247-02-36) covers TAC support and hardware replacement on the FWF-81F-2R-3G4G-POE-A for three years from activation, reducing renewal overhead while leaving room to reassess before a longer commitment.

What FortiCare Premium Covers

FortiCare Premium is the mid-tier Fortinet support contract. It provides 24×7 telephone access to Fortinet's TAC team, a four-hour response for critical severity-1 issues, next-business-day hardware replacement, and ongoing access to FortiOS firmware, security patches, and the FortiCare portal.

This product provides FortiCare Premium tier coverage. The table below shows what changes between the three FortiCare service levels:

Who Needs This

The FWF-81F-2R-3G4G-POE-A is a multi-function branch appliance: FortiGate-class NGFW, Wi-Fi 6 access (2×2 802.11ax), an embedded 3G/4G LTE modem for backup WAN connectivity, and four PoE+ ports for IP phones or cameras, with a 128 GB SSD for local log retention. A three-year term is a practical fit for organizations on a standard 36-month IT refresh schedule, or those moving off annual contracts who want to consolidate TAC renewal work without committing to a five-year span.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-W81FD-247-02-36 is an electronic license. DataCenter360.ca delivers the activation key within 0-1 business days of payment. Register it at support.fortinet.com under Asset Management, associate it with the FWF-81F-2R-3G4G-POE-A serial number, and the three-year coverage period starts immediately.

FortiCare Premium vs. a Bundle

FortiCare Premium covers TAC support and hardware RMA only. It does not renew FortiGuard services. For units where both FortiCare and FortiGuard services need renewing together, the 3-year UTP bundle (FC-10-W81FD-950-02-36) or Enterprise bundle (FC-10-W81FD-809-02-36) handles the full service stack in one SKU. Standalone FortiCare is the targeted option when only the TAC contract has lapsed, or when the FortiGuard renewal cycle falls on a different date.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

The FWF-81F-2R-3G4G-POE FortiCare Premium series is stocked at DataCenter360.ca in all three terms. The 5-year option (FC-10-W81FD-247-02-60) is available for deployments planned to run a full hardware lifecycle, and the 1-year term (FC-10-W81FD-247-02-12) works for teams that prefer annual renewal control. All activations are sourced through the Fortinet Select Partner channel and delivered electronically to customers in any country.
