Fortinet FortiAP-831F FortiCare Premium Support, 3-Year (FC-10-P831F-247-02-36)

A 3-year FortiCare Premium contract for the FortiAP-831F reduces administrative overhead for most wireless deployments. Instead of tracking annual renewals across individual APs, a single 3-year term (FC-10-P831F-247-02-36) covers the typical lifecycle of a high-density deployment without interruption. The coverage includes 24×7 TAC access, 1-hour P1 response SLA, and next-business-day advance hardware exchange for every year of the term.

FortiCare Service Tier Comparison — FortiAP-831F

This contract is at the Premium tier. The table below summarizes what each tier covers across the FortiAP-831F support family.

What FortiCare Premium Covers Over 3 Years

FortiCare Premium includes 24×7 TAC via phone, email, and web portal, with a 1-hour SLA for Priority 1 incidents and 2-hour SLA for Priority 2. Advance hardware exchange ships a replacement before Fortinet receives the failed unit, minimizing downtime. Firmware updates, security patches, and portal access remain active for all 3 years. The contract co-terms to the AP serial number registered at purchase, tracked in Fortinet’s customer portal or your FortiManager.

Why Choose a 3-Year Term

Annual contracts require renewal processing each year: a purchase order, a license key, a re-registration step. For FortiAP-831F deployments of any scale, these touch points add up. A 3-year term eliminates two of those cycles and aligns with typical network refresh schedules in enterprise wireless. The 5-year Premium contract (FC-10-P831F-247-02-60) takes this further if your AP hardware is expected to stay in production longer than three years without replacement.

If your environment has stricter uptime commitments, FortiCare Elite (FC-10-P831F-284-02-12) steps up to a 15-minute P1 SLA, same-day hardware replacement, and a dedicated TAC engineer.
