Fortinet FortiAP-441K FortiCare Elite, 1-Year (FC-10-FP41K-284-02-12)

When a failed access point needs to be back in service the same day, FortiCare Elite is the support tier that provides the contractual backing for that expectation. FC-10-FP41K-284-02-12 covers the FAP-441K for one year at Elite level: 15-minute initial response on critical cases, next-calendar-day hardware replacement, Priority RMA included at no separate cost, and 24×7 TAC access throughout.

What FortiCare Elite Covers

Three differentiators separate Elite from Premium for the FAP-441K. First, the critical-severity response commitment drops from 4 hours to 15 minutes: a Fortinet TAC engineer engages within 15 minutes of a Severity 1 case filing. Second, hardware replacement becomes next-calendar-day dispatch, not next-business-day: Fortinet ships the replacement FAP-441K within one calendar day of fault confirmation, including weekends and holidays. Third, Priority RMA is bundled into Elite at no additional purchase; under Premium it is an optional add-on. Firmware access and 24×7 phone support are shared across both tiers.

FortiCare Tier Comparison

FortiCare for the FAP-441K is available in three tiers. This contract is FortiCare Elite at 1 year.

Who Buys This

FortiCare Elite suits deployments where an unresolved FAP-441K fault has a direct business cost measured in hours. High-density conference venues, hospital units using wireless for clinical systems, and financial trading environments running time-sensitive applications over Wi-Fi 7 are operational contexts where the 15-minute response and calendar-day RMA matter. Organizations that have previously purchased Priority RMA as a separate add-on under FortiCare Premium may find Elite to be the more cost-efficient path, since it bundles that capability into a single contract.
