Juniper AP24 Access Point
802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 / Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth LE Integrates Mist AI for AX

High Performance Wi-Fi

The AP24 supports new bandwidth-hungry applications and soaring device densities. The AP24 is comprised of tri-band capable, dual band concurrent, tri-radio 2x2 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6E) with maximum data rates of 2400 Mbps in the 6GHz band, 1200 Mbps in the 5GHz band, and 575 Mbps in the 2.4GHz band. The third radio functions as a network, location, and security sensor, as well as a spectrum monitor. With 802.11ax Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO), and Basic Service Set (BSS) Coloring technologies.

AI for AX

The added performance and spectrum efficiency of 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) has added to the complexity of configuring and operating wireless networks. Juniper automates and optimizes AP management and performance with AI for AX capabilities. Juniper access points reduce interference due to congestion and ensure consistent service to multiple connected devices in high-density environments by optimizing BSS Coloring, improving data transmission scheduling within OFDMA and MU-MIMO, and assigning clients to the best radio to boost the overall performance of the network.

Greater Spectral Efficiency

OFDMA improves spectral efficiency so that an increasing density of devices can be supported on the network. Density has become an issue with the rapid growth of IoT devices, which often utilize smaller data packets than mobile devices and hence increase the burden and contention on the network. Additionally, BSS Coloring improves the coexistence of overlapping BSSs and allows spatial reuse within a given channel by reducing packet collisions.

Automatic RF optimization

Radio Resource Management automates dynamic channel and power assignment, taking Wi-Fi and external sources of interference into account with a dedicated sensor radio that determines whether the AP should operate in the 2.4 or 6 GHz band. The AI engine continuously monitors coverage and capacity SLE metrics to learn and optimize the RF environment. A learning algorithm uses hysteresis on a 24-hour window to conduct a sitewide rebalancing for optimal channel and power assignment.

Proactive Insight and Action

A dedicated, dual-band third radio collects data for Juniper’s patent-pending Proactive Analytics and Correlation Engine (PACE), which uses machine learning to analyze user experiences, correlate problems, and automatically detect their root causes. These metrics are used to monitor SLEs and provide proactive recommendations to ensure problems don’t occur (or are fixed as quickly as possible when they do).

Improved IoT Battery Efficiency

By incorporating the 802.11ax target wake time (TWT) capability and Bluetooth 5.3, AP24 access points help extend the battery life of IoT devices, particularly as additional devices join the network.

Dynamic Debugging

The AP24 has constant monitoring services and sends alerts whenever a service behaves abnormally. Dynamic debugging relieves IT of having to worry about an AP going offline or that any services running on the AP become unavailable.

Dynamic Packet Capture

The Juniper Mist platform automatically captures packets and streams them to the cloud when major issues are detected. This saves IT time and effort and eliminates the need for truck rolls with sniffers to reproduce and capture data for troubleshooting.

Marvis Virtual Conversational Assistant

Marvis is a natural language processing (NLP)-based assistant with a Conversational Interface to understand user intent and goals, simplifying troubleshooting and the collection of network insights. It uses AI and data science to proactively identify issues, determine the root causes and scope of impact, and gain insights into your network and user experiences. It eliminates the need to manually hunt through endless dashboards and CLI commands.

Effortless, Cloud-Based Setup and Updates

The AP24 automatically connects to the Juniper Mist cloud, downloads its configuration, and joins the appropriate network. Firmware updates are retrieved and installed automatically, ensuring that the network is always up to date with new features, bug fixes, and security updates.
