Posted by Mumbai: Juniper’s four new wireless APs (access points) launched recently extend benefits of AI-driven Wi-Fi 6 to additional verticals and use cases.
These Mist AI driven new hardware models operated via Juniper’s cloud services, now bring all of the AI-driven enterprise benefits. That include cost, locations with extreme weather conditions (e.g. outdoor), form factor needs (e.g. dormitories) and enterprises having huge increase in remote workers.
From stores and schools to homes and hospitals, companies of all sizes and with a wide array of deployment requirements can now take advantage of the insight, automation, performance and actions uniquely delivered by the Juniper Mist wireless solution.
Juniper has introduced the following 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) AP models to complement the Mist AI:
AP63: Extremely high-performance Wi-Fi 6 outdoor AP with vBLE antenna array to deliver Wi-Fi and location services in outdoor and extremely harsh environments.
AP33: High-performance Wi-Fi 6 AP with integrated vBLE antenna array to support Wi-Fi and location services for moderate density Wi-Fi needs that also require accurate location services. Ideal for smaller enterprise offices, retail sites, K12 schools and medical clinics.
AP32: High-performance Wi-Fi 6 AP with integrated omni BLE antenna to support Wi-Fi and basic asset visibility location services for cost-sensitive environments. Ideal for remote workers, smaller enterprise offices and K12 schools that do not require advanced location services.
AP12: Compact wall plate Wi-Fi 6 AP with easy and flexible deployment while enabling the connection of multiple devices. It is ideal for home offices, remote workers, school dorm and hotel room environments.
Juniper’s new four wireless APs follow in the footsteps of the wildly successful AP43, the Juniper Mist flagship Wi-Fi 6 access point. As the first cloud-managed Wi-Fi 6 APs with integrated AI-driven automation and insight, the Juniper AP portfolio simplifies Wi-Fi 6 operations and delivers unique “AI for AX” features.
That includes intelligent load balancing between radios/bands, service levels that monitor and enforce OFDMA (orthogonal frequency-division multiple access) subcarrier assignments, BSS (Basic Service Set) coloring assignments for high-density Wi-Fi environments, sticky client prevention using AI-driven algorithms and advanced RRM (radio resource management).
Juniper’s new four wireless APs are deployed in conjunction with the Juniper Mist Wi-Fi Assurance cloud service, which enables simple and scalable AIOps, including automated WLAN configuration, service level expectations (SLEs), fault isolation, anomaly detection and dynamic packet capture (dPCAP).
The Marvis Virtual Network Assistant (VNA) is an optional additional cloud service that provides interactive drill down into network and user behavior, prescriptive actions and AI-driven operations. All Juniper Mist products come with AI-driven support which includes proactive notifications, automated workflows and “flattened” TAC tiers for accelerated problem resolution with fewer headaches.
“The new Wi-Fi 6 APs enable even more Juniper customers to attain the benefits of the AI-driven enterprise. It is now more affordable to bring automation and insight to traditionally cost-sensitive environments like small businesses, college dormitories, retail stores and K-12 schools and outdoor environments,” said Sudheer Matta, VP – Products, Juniper.
“In addition, we have bolstered our AI-Driven Enterprise @ Home solution with world-class wireless at a cost-effective price that is tightly integrated with our WAN Assurance, Marvis Virtual Network Assistant and security offerings for the best user experiences from client to cloud,”added Matta.
