Fortinet FortiAP-443K FortiCare Elite Support, 3-Year (FC-10-FP43K-284-02-36)

Three years of FortiCare Elite on the FAP-443K-A is the coverage choice for organizations that need sustained priority SLAs across a deployment lifecycle without revisiting annual support decisions. The FC-10-FP43K-284-02-36 delivers 15-minute P1 response, priority hardware replacement, and 24×7 TAC through year three.

What FortiCare Elite Covers

This is a FortiCare Elite contract, the highest tier in Fortinet’s support hierarchy for FortiAP devices.

FortiCare Essential is typically renewal-only on the FortiAP-443K. Premium is the standard entry point for production deployments. Elite extends that with 15-minute P1 response, priority replacement queue, and accelerated response across all severities. It is available as a standalone contract or as an upgrade on top of an active Premium contract.

Who Benefits from a 3-Year Elite Term

Organizations running the FortiAP-443K in environments where uptime is a contractual obligation often commit to Elite for the full expected hardware deployment. The 3-year term suits networks where the AP is embedded in a critical service layer: hospital wards, manufacturing floors with wireless IoT devices, and high-density campuses under SLA pressure. It eliminates the annual decision of whether to renew Elite or step down to Premium to manage costs.

Activation and Delivery

Other Term Options

FortiCare Elite is also available in 1-year (FC-10-FP43K-284-02-12) and 5-year (FC-10-FP43K-284-02-60) terms. Organizations preferring to start on FortiCare Premium can add the 3-year Elite Upgrade (FC-10-FP43K-204-02-36) to an existing Premium contract rather than purchasing Elite directly.
