Product description

The FC-10-FP43K-284-02-60 is a 5-year FortiCare Elite contract for the FortiAP-443K, built for enterprise wireless programs that require top-tier support across the full hardware lifecycle. One purchase, 15-minute P1 response, priority hardware replacement, and 24×7 TAC for five years with no annual renewal overhead.

What FortiCare Elite Covers

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

Feature Essential Premium Elite
Critical-issue (P1) response Next business day 1 hour 15 minutes
24×7 telephone TAC
Advanced hardware replacement Next business day Priority queue
Firmware access and portal
Priority RMA processing
Accelerated SLA response

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 5 Years of Elite

Long-running enterprise wireless programs commit to 5-year Elite when the FortiAP-443K is deployed as critical infrastructure with a long refresh horizon. Higher education campuses, government facilities, and large venues with stable wireless plans are the clearest cases. The 5-year term removes any possibility of a coverage gap and provides the most stable per-unit cost over the full asset lifecycle.

Activation and Delivery

DataCenter360.ca delivers the contract key electronically within the same business day. Register it in the Fortinet Support Portal against the FAP-443K-A serial number and all Elite entitlements activate immediately for the full 5-year term.

Other Term Options

FortiCare Elite is also available in 1-year (FC-10-FP43K-284-02-12) and 3-year (FC-10-FP43K-284-02-36) terms. For organizations that prefer to start on FortiCare Premium, the 5-year Elite Upgrade (FC-10-FP43K-204-02-60) can be stacked on top of an active Premium contract for the same 5-year window.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca serves enterprise wireless programs across Canada and internationally. For large FortiAP-443K deployments, 5-year Elite contracts can be bundled with hardware in a single purchase order. All keys are delivered electronically, and for fleet deployments DataCenter360.ca coordinates registration so every unit reaches active Elite coverage on schedule.

What does FortiCare Elite include that Premium does not?
Elite adds 15-minute P1 response (vs. 1 hour for Premium), priority hardware replacement queue processing, and accelerated SLA response across all severity levels. Firmware access and portal access are the same in both tiers.

Is this contract available outside Canada?
Yes. FortiCare Elite carries no geographic restriction. DataCenter360.ca delivers keys electronically to any country within 0-1 business days.

Can I transfer coverage to a replacement unit if the original FAP-443K-A is decommissioned?
FortiCare contracts are tied to specific serial numbers and cannot be transferred. If you replace the hardware before the contract expires, you need a new contract for the new unit.

What is the difference between purchasing Elite directly vs. the Elite Upgrade contract?
Purchasing Elite directly (this product) is standalone. The Elite Upgrade (FC-10-FP43K-204-02-60) requires an active Premium contract and adds Elite SLAs on top. If you do not have Premium in place, purchasing Elite directly is simpler.

How does this contract interact with the FortiAP-443K’s end-of-life timeline?
The contract stays active until expiry regardless of product lifecycle status. Check the Fortinet Product Lifecycle page for the FAP-443K-A’s current status before committing to a 5-year term on hardware that may be approaching end-of-support.
