Access Point Features

High Performance Wi-Fi

The AP32 series offers six-stream wireless access points. They

support 4x4:4SS in the 5GHz band, delivering a maximum data rate

of 2,400 Mbps for high-bandwidth applications. They also support

2x2:2SS in the 2.4 GHz band, delivering a maximum data rate of

575 Mbps. The integrated third radio functions as a network,

location, and security sensor, a synthetic test client radio, as well as

a spectrum monitor.

With 802.11ax Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access

(OFDMA), Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO),

and BSS Coloring technologies supported, AP32 series performance

reaches unprecedented levels to support new bandwidth-hungry

applications and soaring device densities.

AI for AX

With the new features that 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) introduces to boost

performance and efficiency, configuring and operating an access

point has grown far more complex. Juniper automates and

optimizes these features with our AI for AX capabilities, which

improve data transmission scheduling within OFDMA and MU-

MIMO and assign 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

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 its dedicated sensor radio. The AI

engine continuously monitors coverage and capacity SLE metrics to

learn and optimize the RF environment. The learning algorithm uses

hysteresis on a 24-hour window to conduct a sitewide rebalancing

for optimal channel and power assignment.

Unprecedented 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 experience, correlate

problems, and automatically detect their root cause.

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). This radio also functions as a

synthetic test client to proactively detect and mitigate network

anomalies.

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.
