Features + Benefits
Automatic RF Optimization
Radio resource management (RRM) automates dynamic channel and power assignments, accounting for interference discovered by the AP’s dedicated sensor radio, and converts dual-band-capable radios between 2.4- and 6-GHz operation.
The Mist AI engine continuously monitors service-level expectation (SLE) metrics to optimize the RF environment.
Unprecedented Insight and Action
A dedicated tri-band third radio collects data for our patent-pending Proactive Analytics and Correlation Engine (PACE). The AP24 uses the machine learning-powered PACE to analyze user experiences, correlate network issues, and detect the root cause of problems.
IoT Efficiencies
By incorporating the 802.11ax target wake time (TWT) capability and Bluetooth 5.3, the access point extends the battery life of IoT devices as new IoT devices join the network. The AP also natively supports IoT electronic shelf label (ESL) tags.
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 AP24 automatically connects to the Juniper Mist cloud, downloads its AP configuration, and joins the appropriate network.
Firmware updates download and install 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.
Product Sustainability
The AP24 uses recyclable materials in its packaging design.

CUSTOMER SUCCESS
Gap Inc. Transforms In-Store Wi-Fi Experience with AI-Driven Networking
Doris and Don Fisher opened the first Gap store in 1969 with a simple idea—to make it easier to find a pair of jeans and a commitment to do more. Over the last 50+ years, the company has grown from a single store to a global fashion business.
While Gap, Inc. transformed their business, technology transformed the way shoppers interact with their favorite brands. A multichannel experience is the new normal, and e-commerce sales continue to grow rapidly in comparison to in-store sales. Consumers don’t simply want to shop for products; they want to seek out a more engaging experience. To give customers and retail associates the best experience with in-store Wi-Fi, Gap Inc. found AI-driven networking to be a perfect fit.
