Fortinet FortiAP-231F FortiCare Elite, 1-Year (FC-10-PF231-284-02-12)

An office or campus that runs the FortiAP-231F as its primary wireless layer has moved well past treating wireless as a convenience. When that infrastructure supports VoIP calls, cloud applications, and dozens of concurrent clients, a wireless outage has a measurable cost. FortiCare Elite (FC-10-PF231-284-02-12) addresses that by committing Fortinet to a 2-hour response window and assigning a dedicated engineer to any escalated case.

What FortiCare Elite Covers

Elite is Fortinet’s highest FortiCare tier for the FAP-231F platform. For one year, the contract provides:

• 2-hour initial response SLA available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
• 24/7 TAC access via phone and web portal for software, hardware, and integration issues.
• Advance hardware replacement (AHR) with next-business-day delivery in most regions.
• Dedicated case manager for complex, multi-day, or high-priority issues.
• Full firmware access covering all security patches and feature updates for the FAP-231F.

Who Buys This Contract

FortiCare Elite suits organizations where the FAP-231F handles traffic that cannot tolerate extended outages. Healthcare environments, financial services offices, retail floors with point-of-sale wireless, and education campuses with time-sensitive wireless exam environments are typical examples. It also fits managed service providers maintaining FAP-231F fleets under SLAs that require a defined response time from Fortinet.

FortiCare Tier Options for the FAP-231F

This contract activates FortiCare Elite, Fortinet’s highest support tier for the FortiAP-231F. The table below compares all three FortiCare tiers for FortiAP devices:

FortiCare Premium (FC-10-PF231-247-02-12) is the right choice for standard office or branch locations where a 1-hour critical-issue response is acceptable and next-business-day hardware replacement is sufficient. Elite adds the 15-minute response and a named TAM. For existing Premium holders, the upgrade (FC-10-PF231-204-02-12) steps an active contract to Elite without starting fresh. Both are available at DataCenter360.ca.
