Fortinet Product Portfolio and Vision

Hi, everyone. Good morning. I'm Simone Gla.

I'm the Senior Director of product Management. I'm responsible for wireless Fortinet, aps 40 ap, we call it in short, as you all know. So we're responsible for the product, hardware, software, and also integrated solution, meaning the FortiGate as a wireless controller manager.

Okay. And today, uh, during my session, I'll be going through Fortinets vision product portfolio, and we will not just cover wireless, uh, because we think wireless with wifi seven speeds with high, uh, speed requirements. It's not just about wireless, it's also about the land infrastructure.

So we will talk about our secure land, secure land edge portfolio. In terms of switching, in terms of ap, I mean, I'll just give a sneak peek about what we have, how we are, uh, focusing towards, and what is that overall solution we, we are ready to provide as a, as a, as a organization. So, as you all know, we have a comprehensive and powerful manage, uh, uh, hardware, uh, which is backed up by software like the same Fortinet.

Uh, FortiGate is also a wireless controller, also a a switch controller, also a FORTI extender, which can also manage a FORTI extender. So it is end-to-end solution. One product can view every other controller module at no extra cost.

So that's, that's the, that's the beauty of it. We have been telling, Suma has mentioned it, and James and Alex has reiterated it in most of our solutions. It's all one product, single pane to manage any of the devices, irrespective of your SD branch or campus or, or a high, uh, high density deployment or whatever.

So we, we are working towards our, most of our portfolio is to cater higher speeds, higher speeds in terms of wifi seven. With AP hardware, you'll see multi gig ports. We have dual 10 gig codes, which can support 20 gig, uh, as a, uh, backbone.

Throughput as such, not just the wireless 20 gig, but also backbone for that. You need to be having infrastructure, which is capital to support multi gig capabilities. So that's where we come up with 10 gig, uh, 10 gig ports, five gig ports on a switching.

3 bt, which is, which can support up to 90 watts, uh, which is our switching portfolio as such. So we also have, uh, in terms of high, high throughput, high capabilities in enterprise campus data centers space, we do a hundred gig ports, four oh gig ports as a combination to support the, uh, the backend of your, uh, infrastructure. We are strong in the retail K twelves, uh, enterprise data center.

Whatever, uh, the solution a customer is looking for, we are here to provide it as an old, uh, overall architecture and provide it as solution in terms of operational tech, technology or OT space. We've been making our strides. We are, it's one of our, uh, uh, three pillars where we talk about, and we have invested heavily on OT space.

So all our access points are from day one, C one, D two, ATX certified going forward from wifi seven, meaning our case series. So, uh, so continue to this. Uh, we have, we have been mentioning, uh, we have given some sneak peek about, we have acquired latest last, uh, couple of weeks.

We have acquired a company called Everest Networks. Yeah. So why, and what, we will just go over it.

Okay. Stadium Wireless is not new. It's been there since long.

It's always been a overhead wireless since 2010. That was the first generation of overhead wireless where you hook it onto a pole mount on somewhere on the stadiums, and that's where your networking, uh, wireless networking comes into play. Then come, then, then came the solution of, uh, side rails, handrails, uh, uh, boxes with a, uh, IP 67 rating.

And then you put a wireless access point in it and then provide a solution. So that did not scale in 2012 or so. Then 2014, there was some sort of an undersea, uh, mechanism, which came into play.

So now it is time for revolutionizing it. That's where Fortinet wants to join the hands and take average networks as our partner. And we have, uh, as a company, we are going to work together with their postures.

Our postures come with an integrated solution and have a, a solution as a overall, uh, for high density arenas. Uh, open arenas like, uh, stadiums, like in other parts of the world, it's for cricket stadiums, and here it's more of NFL and stuff. So that's, that's the, uh, beauty of it.

So here, what I'm trying to, uh, show the difference is in terms of undersea, these are the cells we are talking about, uh, in this case. So each cell is like an undereat ap. So what we are doing from that to revolutionize by making it a o overhead setup, is the number of aps are reduced.

But these aps are multi radio aps. Like, it'll have four radios. It is software configurable.

We'll go into that in the next slide. But when it comes to undersea, your capacity of coverage is limited to like some, somewhere, somewhere around 80 seats. And then the best coverage is dependent on the human loss because it's under the seat.

There is a human loss based on the feet, like every two feet. There is like 10 db difference in terms of deteriorating wireless signal. So that human loss is something which you cannot take away from, uh, the deployment.

So what we, we, we are saying with, with Everest technology and acquisition, so what we are bringing to the table is we have multi radio overhead apiece. We'll limit the number of apes in your deployment. Instead of like, here, it's like some thousands.

And when you see visibly, you can see there like one, one fourth or one fifth of, uh, of the number of deployments as such in, in terms, because the a hundred seat deploy or a TC deployment here becomes a 300 seat capability in terms of wifi coverage. So that's the difference. So I've talked about first generation overhead versus the la versus the current generation overhead, which is the, uh, the last, uh, column here.

So if you see in terms of capacity, signal strength, uh, uplink, uh, uplink, uh, signal strength and downlink signal strength in terms of, uh, RF isolation between the an anus. So in a typical deployment, normally it used to be like, uh, AP will be connected to an external, uh, anus and make it more directional, but you don't have a control over how it needs to be, uh, uh, I mean, what, what level of qs you can apply and stuff like that. But with this multi radio concept and multi radio, uh, enablement with core high density, we are going to have sector based based on the radio and also software comparable, meaning on the backend, you can have multiple, uh, service providers where you can slice the traffic, the wifi traffic and, and, uh, give based on the radio operation.

So I'll get, I'll get a little deeper into it, uh, in the ne next slide, but, so currently, why, what, what is the reason and what is the strength in this acquisition? Acquisition? So, we are good at Enterprise Wireless.

They have their own, uh, strengths in terms of stadium wireless, like for high density, and they also have a directional coverage. They have ultra narrow band, uh, and, uh, narrow band wideband. There are a lot of combinations which you can configure on the ap.

It's not, it's not an external antenna. It is within the ap. So the, an antennas are designed in such a way, they are software configurable, and you can, you can decide based on the coverage and capacity.

So I have a question on the products that you're referring to that are coming in from the Everest Yes. Uh, partnership. Yes.

Uh, so from my knowledge, they've had a landing page on their website for, um, over a year. Mm-hmm. Last product released were wave two, I think.

Yes. Uh, the products that you're talking about using here, are those legacy products or are they new products that they have right now? So they're wave two products is the wifi seven capable products.

So that is the products we are talking about. Okay. So, so the, so these are net new wifi seven?

Yes. Capable. Okay.

Yeah, They're, they're four variants to it, wideband, ultra wideband narrow band and stuff like that. 4 and five. And also it is software con on the fly, actually.

And they are, they're already designed in part high density, meaning the, an antenna is the RF part is already designed and patented. So that's, that's the strength which it brings to the high density deployments. Okay.

And are there, are there data sheets out on the Fortinet website? Are they on Everest website? So We, we just acquired them.

It's just two weeks, uh, old internally, but, uh, uh, during the, uh, earlier earnings call we just mentioned yesterday. So that's where we are bringing it. The MFD session is the first time we are actually publicizing it.

I've got a, You wanna go ahead, Sam? Yeah. You, you, you've used a couple of different phrases.

We're working with, we're a partnership with Yes. We've acquired did Oh yeah. We wholly acquired Everest.

Yes, yes. Sorry, is this be for stadium or like, what's the story? So it'll be a Fortinet ap.

A Fortinet ap Ap, okay. Uh, it'll be a high density, uh, A special Fortinet high density, High density deployment For Ahy for LPV, whatever, Maybe we say a for AP hd. Okay.

Alright. Okay. Alright.

I call that Integrated antennas, is that what you said? Yes. And integrated software stick for overhead.

Yes. So, So what's the beam width on those? So there are, there are multiple, like, uh, yeah, I don't have it right on top of my mind as of now, but we have been with like, uh, for a ultra narrow, which is around 15 degree, uh, narrow, which is around, uh, uh, 20 to 35, I believe.

And then we have wideband. So it is, it is right lobe versus left lobe. There are a lot of combinations, which you can, um, with the same ap, you're Also upper selectable, right?

Yes. Yes. So you can go down to 15 degrees.

Yes. Okay. And, and that's why you are suggesting that overhead is the next best way.

Yes. That, that's a game changer for us. That's what we, we believed in, and that's where the acquisition comes into play.

So in a lot of those stadiums, the reason we went under seat mm-hmm. In arenas and, and stadiums was because there was physics problems. Mm-hmm.

How are you solving that? 'cause when you're coming from overhead in most of the NFL stadiums mm-hmm. They're just super bowls, right?

They're, they come straight down and there's no overhead assets where you can get to the people from the front. And what I've seen behavior wise is people hold their phones mm-hmm. Here, so you've gotta come through 10 to 20 people, and that's a lot of, uh, path loss.

Yeah. So how are you, so, So what, what, uh, as per the, uh, the backend engineering efforts and stuff, what has been understood is the undersea, as I showed you in the previous slide, it has a coverage of only 70 to 80 seats, and then 75 at best. Yeah.

Yeah. 70 to 80. In that 30, 30%, like 30 seats, or 25 to 30 seats are in the good signal, like, like three rows maximum.

Like anything beyond that, the path loss is much higher because you have the material, you have the human loss and stuff like that. So in terms of our, uh, overhead deployments, the way you deploy it, you can actually create like, uh, like channel channelize, the isolation of the RF in such a way that the coverage is from 80 extended to like 300, 330 seats. So that way you get better coverage.

And here we are talking about good signal being around a hundred seating compared to the, the previous solution, which is around 20. So that is the technology, which is, uh, which is introduced through this particular antenna design aspect of it. So I understand what you said.

It didn't answer the question. Go ahead. Okay.

Uh, so your, your question was like, uh, on the overhead aspect of it, there was always some mechanics, which was not, Uh, well, you're going through bodies 'cause you're shooting from behind. Yes. So you've got, you have more path loss mm-hmm.

From overhead shooting from behind, then you do. So that's where the, uh, that's where the, I mean, I, I might not still answer the right, uh, the right, uh, uh, thing, but, so that's where the angler deployment and ra configurable radio comes into play, and the internet design is what, which makes a difference here as such. Okay.

And are, were you proposing, you said 330 seats, was that per radio or is that per AP with multiple rates Per, per AP with multiple radios? Okay. So what we are bringing here is like, so we have our enterprise part, we have the backend supported by various other things, like we have switching wireless, wireless capabilities.

We have, uh, NAC solutions for enterprise and firewall, SD wan, everything, uh, Fortinets, uh, area of, uh, strength. And then we have Stadium wireless with high density configurable, uh, radios and configuration with wifi, scaling and slicing, uh, uh, mechanisms. So we want merge both of them and make it more, uh, secure for high density deployments.

So what it brings reduced complexity will eliminate, uh, the multiple product thing. We'll have our Fortinet asic uh, handling the data data path. So that will help in also a single pane of management and, uh, stuff which will save overall cost for a solution in terms of high density deployments.

Okay. Uh, so yeah, so what, what, what we already have on, what we are bringing to the overall table is like NAG 40, link, NAG 40, manager 40 a Ops 40 manager being for a, uh, for a management, uh, solution in terms of configuration onboarding and stuff. AIOps for our visibility client, uh, client posturing and all that information, uh, are seamlessly and 40 monitor, uh, for our extensive, uh, client visibility, et cetera.

So these are some things which we are going to integrate and, uh, bring the two solutions together as a overall, uh, aspect of it. So how we are going to support it, how we are going to, uh, do between the two solutions is we are coming up with a, a concept of stadium ap, where it'll have dual boot, meaning you'll have Everest os we will have a Fortinet a POS. So Fortinet, a POS actually currently is managed by 40 Fortinet products like 48, which is our wireless controller.

And then the Everest has their own network management solution. So when AP comes up or we bring up the ap, then it, it's, it's dependable on the existing customers with Everest will still continue with the Everest o the new customers, or you want to utilize the high density, uh, anti capabilities from the Everest hardware. Then we'll have A-A-P-O-S on it where you can make a similar software configurable configurations and game changer technology to our, uh, to the Fortinet portfolio as such.

So granted, it's been a little while since I've, I've looked at the scaling. Mm-hmm. Um, the last time I looked it, it, it took a ridiculously large FortiGate to support say, 500 aps.

Um, where are you guys at right now on that? Because if you start talking about high density mm-hmm. You know, it can be thousands.

Yes. So we have, so I'm not, I'm not sure about, uh, the, the form factor you're talking about, which, which particular form factor, but I'm sure, uh, the ap uh, the 40 gates we are talking about can scale up to 4,000, uh, even on a, even on a, a medium level, uh, deployment. So what, what I'm talking about maybe 300, uh, g and Yeah, Yeah.

What, what FortiGate model would we need to deploy to support a, an 80,000 seat stadium For it, saying you, you manage it with for Gator, or is it saying you manage it with Ev Everest? You said the old clients would use Everest. So Currently we have, we can go till 8,000 aps being managed by a 40 40 gate, which is our wireless controller.

So Everest has its own solution. I mean, if you're already an Everest customer, we can transition right away with, with extended support with Everest and MS solution. We are also working towards integrating Everest and NMS solution to much of our portfolio like AIOps, uh, 40 analyzer, so that for logging, uh, and visibility and stuff, We just got done hearing about how unified image is awesome.

And clearly they're not gonna be running the same unified images as you guys. So it sort of erodes your initial conversation around. Okay.

Can, can you, uh, are you asking about, uh, the sizing of AP Sizing Of sizing and aps? Uh, on the FortiGate, we do support two types of, uh, of data pass. Either it is local bridge mode or either it is, uh, tunnel, tunnel mode.

So if you go with tunnel, of course the amount of aps will be reduced. Uh, but as soon as you go to local bridge mode, knowing that we have also from, uh, asics to, uh, to accelerate or flood the traffic, uh, we can reduce the size of the FortiGate based on the needs. So you are talking about 500 a ps.

I know that Qua is having the product, uh, metrics open. Think it's a a 300 series 48 that you can use to, to get that. Yeah.

But if you want to tunnel the traffic, you will need to increase the size of the box, because everything will come to the FortiGate. And then you need to have CPO resources, even if we have acceleration on the box, It's a stadium, you have to tunnel the traffic. Yeah.

So, yeah. But yeah, I have to, But There are two things is either you have to tunnel and you have a big box, or you can have high amount of a ps, but with a reduced, so it's, So the yeah, to, to add on the current gap there with the every solution is it's all offloaded traffic. Now, Fortinet brings that differentiator to bring all the travel traffic back to controller so that you can do your security posturing and make it more, uh, secure in terms of wireless clients connectivity and stuff.

So these are, uh, long-term plan, how we want to integrate, how we want to make both together and, uh, be a hap have a happy customer overall as such. And yeah. Uh, yeah, let's go back to our, uh, 40 AP hardware models.

So if you've noticed here, uh, we are, uh, categorizing based on the technology wifi 6 67. We have all the three, uh, as of now, uh, being supported and, uh, readily available. So since last, last year, we have been heavily into innovating and, uh, producing, uh, wifi seven aps.

We started last year with four cross four models. Then by end of the year, we came up with two cross two models. Recently we launched a couple of, uh, uh, couple of, uh, smaller form factors.

This is a desktop model in wifi seven. And this is the, uh, the most, uh, oh, sorry, uh, the most economical, uh, 2 3 1 K three radio, uh, wifi seven model. So, uh, so there are a lot of, uh, a lot of efforts here, uh, in terms of, uh, hardware and few other things.

I want to, uh, point out here is 2, 2 2 KL on the on theri, uh, rightmost, uh, top, which is going to be a LoRa van, uh, LoRa Van AP outdoor capable, which also will support PSC capability to power up p camera power up another, uh, small, uh, system with af uh, power. Uh, we also have, uh, multiple, uh, other outdoor models coming up with C 1D two ATech certification. Uh, so this is this, we continue to, uh, invest and continue to support the new latest and the greatest technologies with, with the entire infrastructure as such.

Maybe I missed this, but Sure. Sorry. Are the stadium aps dedicated to that use case, or are they worked into the portfolio?

So, so currently in our, in this portfolio, I have not included Everest as, uh, as overall this is still a Fortinet portfolio. The, so Stadium, Everest Wireless is just days old. So we are still making things up.

Okay. Okay. I, I just wanna check, because seeing a long time, I'm assuming those will, that will stay dedicated because of the radio has not merged too much into this.

Okay. We'll, we'll have, uh, like a dual, uh, partnership in terms of working between two engineering teams. I, I mean, I, I'm not quoting it as a partnership in terms of, uh, a company wide, but it's more of an engineering, uh, team, like share the knowledge, uh, bring their, uh, hardware to our, uh, product line, our software to their product line.

So whichever is the best is what we continue with. So, So, so we have, uh, models and solutions based on industry, whether it are small and medium deployment, uh, secure SD branch campus versus ot, ot, it goes to C one, D two, a tech certification and stuff. So in a similar form factor, this is another innovative product, which we are, which we are coming up with the, it's gonna be, uh, targeted for LPA 2026.

So this is, this is, uh, one of a, a big differentiator for re retail space. What we think is the aps, uh, ha, the current top enclosure real estate is being wasted. So, so we need to utilize it in a better way.

So we are putting a LCD monitor integrated with an AI chip internally to the AP so that we can, we can actually do, uh, retail pro like advertising with QR codes. It can be a cap to portal enhancements. It can be, uh, the, the level of how many walk-ins have come to a particular store, and like, it's a snapshot of what you want to be displayed here.

It can also be a, an image, it can also be a video, or it can also be something sensitive information. You have like seven or eight cameras connected. Your, your, your looking at some asset management.

Somebody has, uh, taken over one asset or disconnected something and you want that video to be, uh, displayed here, or some sort of, so that, that's the aspect we are looking at here. That's more of a, uh, into the retail space. It'll have an LCD monitor three radio, which is like, uh, all the 3, 3, 3 bands supported.

It'll have only one, uh, land port. And this is our, uh, next best, uh, in LPA 2026. 4 thread mm-hmm.

Um, considering what's happened with the CSA and, and I mean, the ZigBee Alliance ZigBee is a shell of what it was a few years ago. Yeah, absolutely. I, I agree to it.

Like, so as, as I normally say, we, we as Fortinet, we are like a solution company. So whenever we have requests, whenever we have sales engagement, which, which like brings our attention to a specific, uh, technology, we are there to be number one. We come up with a solution and give it the Sig ZigBee was one of it, which is a BLE combination chip set with ZigBee.

Okay. So now it's like a turnkey solution. We have not enabled on all the devices, but if there is a customer, our hardware supports it, and it is, it's in no time.

We can deliver an aspect or feature which is needed as such in, in the ZigBee space. So most of our AP supports ZigBee with a BLA chip set. Okay.

But my question there is why ZigBee? 4. Yes, yes.

4 and matters what matters ZigBee doesn't. Absolutely. But, so the initial plan for us, for us to do with ZigBee was to have, uh, as part of the BLH chip set, and it is readily available and it, it, it doesn't add additional cost to it.

So if there is any interest, then we are here to develop. So that was the only Okay. Intent towards it as such.

Okay. So we, we don't have, uh, I mean, I, we did not get too much of inquiries on that, so we will slowly move away from it normally. Okay.

Quick question. Go ahead. Uh, what's the size of, of this access point?

I don't see anything here for Exactly this one. For Scale, for the screen, exactly. More or less this one.

And it'll be, it'll be, uh, it'll be, so there'll be a lot of an antenna design, which, which, uh, the aspect which comes to, because we need to, uh, set the antenna in such a way that it doesn't interfere with the LCD monitor and also, uh, a lot of effort in terms of, uh, planning, designing and stuff like that. Was there a specific use case that drove, you guys put an LCD screen on that Ap? So there are a lot of, uh, use cases, like in terms of, uh, QR codes, walk-ins, uh, in terms of, uh, small advertisements when, while, while you walkin walk-ins are customer walk-ins in the retail store and stuff.

So that's where you want to put it, like a stand mount, and then you can actually scan it. It's one way, or you can actually add, and you can also show how many walk-ins you can show the snapshot of your network. You can show snapshot of how many radios are operating, what are the number of clients connected and stuff like that.

So you, you're expecting people to install this on the wall? Yes. This is the Walmart, uh, design.

Yes. I've wanted an e display on APS forever, just so I can name them. And regardless of power status, the name stays on the ap?

Yes. Yes. If, if it is just about aesthetics, you know, you put it on, on a, on a wall, you want that look like a light or something, you can project a picture on it or a video on it.

So that's, yeah. So, so the, an antenna is designed on the corners, uh, in such a way that it is projected, uh, omnidirectional. So, uh, when we are talking, when You say it's omni, but it's wall mounted, so it's, it's omni Yeah.

Yeah. So, so, sorry. So in this case, like, uh, for the same model, so the LCD monitor comes something like this.

So the anti antennas are currently being, uh, mechanic, mechanically designed tools in such a way we, we make sure there is no much, uh, interference with the LCD monitor. It's still in the design phase. It's an approved project.

So, uh, scheduled for, uh, Q1 2026. Is it the first LLED ap? Uh, Yes.

Yes. First. L-C-D-L-E-D ap for, for sure.

We have not, we have not put a LCD, I mean a touch screen there, but that'll be the next generation. I have to ask though, 'cause I'm struggling to wrap my head around this one. Sure.

If you have that, that AP where you can see it or somebody can see it, it also means they can touch it and get to it and plug it, do things to it. Mm-hmm. What's, So there's not, so currently there's not a touch screen.

Yeah. You can only see a, a snapshot? No, I mean, they can get to the port.

They, they can tamper with it. So, uh, it's like a merchant acquisition mission or a, the swipe card. Like, it's, it's always accessible.

Uh, it's how you, so you can actually, if you're in a counter, you can actually keep it behind the counter versus on the table or Yeah, that's, there's multiple scenarios, or you can, uh, put it as an embedded into some sort of a kiosk where you, while you are walking in, you have a QR code, you can scan, you can connect to wifi, you can connect to captive portal of wifi with the QR code and stuff like that. That's one scenario. Or the other scenario where you are, you want to run a promo from 10 to 11 or a specific time.

Yeah, you can, you can put an advertisement on that. Well, Yeah, I'm talking. Okay.

But this is, yes, two things. Yeah. I'm thinking if, if, if it's where it can be seen, it's where it could be reached by somebody that might not, you might not want touching it.

But also, this begs the question, 'cause all the use cases you're mentioning would be, I assume, a separate team within an organization, not the team that's managing infrastructure. Yes. How are they accessing the platform, or where do you visualize that workflow being?

They're not logging into my FortiGate and, and Right. I'm not letting a marketing person log into my FortiGate and make changes still. What is the interface?

So We will, we will be providing an interface for retail and, uh, people where they'll, it'll be connected to the server where you can load images, load, uh, uh, video clips. You can load short videos and stuff like that to that, uh, to that. And you can publish it based on your timing and stuff like that through some, Let, let's call it portal into the FortiGate, but not the management.

Yeah. Through, through the FortiGate management. Okay.

But it'll be connected through a different SaaS server or Okay. Something where you can actually load or feed this particular LCD monitor. Yes.

All right. One more question then maybe we'll stop, maybe we'll stop doing on, uh, so, so I see, you know, tri band two by two, uh, plus, uh, you know, plus an IOT radio, uh, and now plus a screen, this thing starts that you, you, you're probably in a situation where you can't stay in, um, uh, and at power. Mm-hmm.

You're going to require BT power and potentially a lot of BT power with that screen. Mm-hmm. Uh, any idea what your, your budget's gonna be on this?

So Currently we are looking at BT power more or less, uh, because wifi seven as such has bumped up the power multifold. So, so at is no more sufficient. So it is always BT in irrespective, but because of this, uh, the, the way it has been designed for wall mount rather than seal mount, so the, the concept is you can reduce the TX power on the radios and bring it down based on the features you don't want.

So for example, you don't want, uh, you don't want that to operate in a 23 dbm. Instead you want to operate in 16 DBM because it's a, uh, a Walmart, then it is less coverage. But you, you can go further down software configurable to support, uh, at and stuff bt, something like that.

Yeah, we do that. We do that with all our existing portfolio. If you, if you look at one of our, any of our data sheets, all the aps have a configurable option based on what you want.

Like, if you want, uh, BT power, these are the full capabilities. If you want only support at power, these can operate, like certain radios can operate in so and so power, uh, so and so TX power, and then you can disable USB, you can disable BS BLE and stuff like that, depending on the power consumption. I've gotta be honest, I'm struggling to see the use case for it, but if it, it's not touchscreen, is it?

No, It's not. For the first version. We, I, I think if it was, I could see potential use cases where, like, let's say you put it in a hotel room Yeah.

And you could order your, you know, room service and access your menus. And it was more like a touchscreen screen's not big enough. No.

You could potentially make it bigger for that. And then the put side is, as network engineers, we get an AP in every room. So, so there is a, And it's more like, it's a touchscreen that happens to have an AP in it.

An AP with a touchscreen. So, uh, continuing that thought. There was one of the other scenarios we thought, like, you, you go to visit a doctor's office consultant, like there is nothing which says, hi, uh, welcome Simon Gola, so it doesn't talk about anything.

So the, every time the doctor needs to pull his monitor, show it to you, or something like that. So now if it's connected to a specific AP monitored on the wall, it welcomes you, it'll tell you, uh, so you want In scope for HIPAA now, So this is, this, our, this are initially in the Inno innovation. So that's where LCD, uh, with the touch screen was not really considered initially because we are still figuring out the design aspect of it, the overall antenna positioning, how, how, how to actually integrate LCD, uh, monitoring with the AP as such, how the thermal situation we handled, because I'm just struggling with the concept as I say a little bit, but I, I was thinking if it's touchscreen and you can control the lice and the curtains in your room or whatever, and the plus side is actually you have a really small cell wireless network in room.

Yeah. I, I can see that potentially being a benefit, but I, I, yeah, just an AP for an LED screen confusing Me. I strongly, coming from the digital signage and the digital outta house market, I'd strongly recommend talking to some of the digital signage service providers and the software providers Sure.

And integrating with them. Sure. Because that is a whole market that is way outside of networking.

Absolutely. That's perfect. So just a strong recommendation.

Good to know. Do I need to say it? Yeah, sure.

Thank you. Thank you for the interest there. That shows that there is a good innovation there at least.

Yeah. Uh, so yeah, uh, there are a couple of slides. One on the, uh, SWAT 40 switch hardware, uh, because we talked about infrastructure.

So switch, uh, multi-gig switches, rugged switches, depending on the, uh, uh, segment of your, uh, customer. We have from small and medium SD branch, OT to, uh, campus deployments with campus. We have, uh, switches, which can do tera, uh, of, or terabytes of, uh, traffic.

Uh, we have, uh, chassis based cis too. So that's, that's something you're talking about. And, uh, in terms of, uh, uh, uh, 5G LTE products, we talked about the non ruggedized series.

We have 48, which is our firewall, uh, module, which is also, uh, capable to do, uh, backhaul van with the 5G or LTE capabilities. There a series of products here. And then we also have our 40 extenders, uh, with wifi enabled, like you have a 3G, 4G on the, on the, uh, van link.

You have wifi on the land side, and you also have ethernet ports. You have, uh, other connectivity extended towards it. So you have every combination.

Most of our products are, uh, uh, hookup capable, like in terms of turnkey solutions with sass, e management, 40 gate lineage, all these, like, you don't need to switch, uh, power, uh, I mean power cycle the system to actually connect between, uh, management solutions as such. So yeah, the, these are, uh, recognized series. Uh, we have quite a bit, uh, in, in the, uh, OT space being, uh, specifically, uh, categorized for, uh, so it comes with all the combinations with the rugged method, uh, rugged form factor, the benefit of time, like, yeah, I'm just moving, uh, faster.

But yeah, our future, uh, the key takeaways from uh, today's session probably is we continue to innovate. We continue to invest, uh, in the best and the, uh, greatest technologies will more cost effective when it is fabric, when it's an integrated solution. And we want to, uh, be the, uh, we have been the first in security at last mile, meaning we did UTP on the wireless access points since last four or five years or more than that actually.

So that, that way we have innovations continued towards security and wireless aspect of it as a secure networking, networking portfolio.
