Features + Benefits
High-Performance 802.11ax
AP34 access points support 2x2:2 802.11ax networks 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.
Juniper industry-leading AI for AX capabilities optimize features introduced in the 802.11ax standard.
Automatic RF Optimization
Radio resource management (RRM) automates dynamic channel and power assignment, taking Wi-Fi and external sources of interference into account with the device’s dedicated sensor radio.
The Mist AI engine continuously monitors coverage and capacity service-level expectation (SLE) metrics to learn about and optimize the RF environment.
Unprecedented Insight and Action
A dedicated tri-band fourth radio collects data for our patent-pending Proactive Analytics and Correlation Engine (PACE).
The AP34 uses machine learning to analyze user experiences, correlate network issues, and detect the root cause of problems.
Improved IoT Battery Efficiency
By incorporating the 802.11ax target wake time (TWT) capability and Bluetooth 5.1, the access point extends battery life for IoT devices as new IoT devices enter the network.
Dynamic Packet Capture
The Juniper Mist platform automatically captures packets and streams them to the cloud when major issues are detected.
This capability eliminates the need for expensive, time-consuming truck rolls to reproduce and capture data for troubleshooting.
Cloud-Based Setup and Updates
The AP34 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.
Premium Analytics
Juniper Mist Wi-Fi Assurance, User Engagement, and Asset Visibility services include a base analytics capability for analyzing up to 30 days of data.
They simplify the process of extracting network insights and running analytics across your enterprise to properly align your support resources and allow you to introduce enhanced premium services.
