Overview:
The Juniper AP41 works in conjunction with the Juniper Mist cloud architecture to collect and analyze metadata in near real-time from all wireless clients. This enables rapid problem detection and root cause identification with predictive recommendations and proactive correction, helping businesses realize a Self-Driving network.
In addition, the AP41 has a dynamic vBLE 16-element antenna array for the industry’s most accurate and scalable location services, including Juniper User Engagement, Asset Visibility, and Contact Tracing. These location services operate without the need for battery-powered BLE beacons and manual calibration. With integrated IoT sensors and an interface port that can control analog/digital devices, the AP41 also enables advanced location-based use cases, such as door locking and camera control.
Juniper AI-Driven Network
Juniper brings true innovation to the wireless space with the world’s first AI-driven wireless LAN (WLAN).
The Juniper AI-Driven network makes Wi-Fi predictable, reliable, and measurable, offering unprecedented visibility into the user experience through the use of unique service-level expectation (SLE) metrics. Proactive, AI-driven automation and self-healing replace time-consuming manual tasks, lowering Wi-Fi operational costs and saving substantial time and money.
Juniper also brings enterprise-grade Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy (LE), and IoT together so businesses can increase the value of their wireless networks through personalized location services, such as wayfinding, proximity notifications, and asset location. With Juniper’s patented virtual BLE (vBLE) technology, no battery beacons or manual calibration are required.
All operations are managed using the open and programmable microservices-based Juniper Mist Cloud Architecture. The system delivers maximum network scalability and performance while also bringing DevOps agility to WLANs and location services.
The Juniper Mist Cloud Architecture
Juniper’s cloud-native, AI-driven microservices architecture delivers unparalleled agility, scale, and resiliency to your network. It lowers OpEx and delivers unprecedented insights into network performance, behaviors, traffic patterns, and potential trouble spots by using data science to analyze large amounts of rich metadata collected by Juniper Access Points.
The Juniper Mist platform is 100% programmable, supporting open APIs. It enables full automation and seamless integration with complementary LAN, WAN, security, user engagement, and asset location solutions. The architecture enables you to consume wireless and location services in both a scalable and cost-effective manner.
Juniper Mist Edge
Juniper Mist Edge is an on-premises appliance that runs a tunnel termination service. Juniper APs offer a flexible data plane. Traffic can be broken out locally, or tunneled to Juniper Mist Edge. There are many use cases the Juniper Mist Edge solves, including seamless mobility in large campus environments, tunneling of guest traffic to a DMZ, IoT segmentation, and teleworker.
