Juniper delivers the industry’s first AI-Native Networking Platform for better operator and end user experiences, offering the most comprehensive AIOps across your entire network. Integral to the platform is Mist AI, which collects rich telemetry from network devices and clients and analyzes it to provide relevant insights in real time.

The following Mist AI capabilities are integral to the joint Juniper/Zebra solution:

Leverage enterprise-grade access points to work in conjunction with Juniper Mist Cloud and Mist AI to deliver premium wireless Wi-Fi, BLE, and IoT access capabilities

Delivers user service levels, anomaly detection, dynamic packet capture, automated event correlation, custom policy configuration, guest WLAN access, and more

Versatile software agent delivers in-depth Wi-Fi network insights from the end user perspective, offering deep visibility into how connected devices experience the wireless environment

Finds high-value resources, such as cordless scanners, mobile printers, mobile computers, wearable accessories, and more, with real-time intelligence from Mist’s Wi-Fi and BLE infrastructure

Zebra Technologies provides cutting-edge solutions, including mobile computers, printers, scanners, and software, to empower businesses with real-time data insights, operational efficiency, and improved productivity across industries like retail, healthcare, manufacturing, and logistics.

With the following capabilities, operators can ensure that Zebra devices are always reliably connected:

Provides client-based visibility into roaming events, data, and voice performance

Purpose-built devices like handheld mobile computers, rugged tablets, and barcode scanners deliver unmatched performance, durability, and reliability, ensuring seamless connectivity and empowering employees to operate efficiently in any environment

Troubleshooting IT issues at both the client and network levels is time consuming and challenging due to a lack of visibility. Together, Zebra and Juniper Networks enable rapid troubleshooting with unmatched visibility. Zebra Wireless Insights and Marvis Client provide rich telemetry to the Mist AI engine that correlates network and client events to pinpoint the root cause when problems occur and provides actional insights for remediation.

With this “better together” joint solution, enterprises gain faster time to remediation and optimal user and operator experiences when network issues arise.

Juniper Networks believes that connectivity is not the same as experiencing a great connection. Juniper’s AI-Native Networking Platform is built from the ground up to leverage AI to deliver exceptional, highly secure, and sustainable user experiences from the edge to the data center and cloud.
