AP12 ACCESS POINT DATASHEET Product Description The Juniper® AP12 is a wall plate Wi-Fi 6 access point optimized for environments that require easy, flexible deployment, and the simultaneous support of multiple devices. It supports an aggregate data rate up to 1.8 Gbps concurrently on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios and provides a cost-effective investment choice for branch offices, remote workers, school dormitory, and hotel room environments. While wired and wireless networks are business critical, without the right architecture they can be harder to operate given the sheer number of mobile and IoT devices—not to mention the extensive variety of hardware, operating systems, and applications currently in use. T raditional architectures—highly manual and network-centric—lack the scale, flexibility, and end-to-end visibility required to support modern mobility requirements and the IT departments that manage them. Juniper AI-Driven Network Juniper Mist™ brings true innovation to wireless networking with the world’s first AI-driven wireless LAN (WLAN). The Juniper AI-Driven Enterprise 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 a self-healing network replace time-consuming manual tasks, lowering Wi-Fi operational costs and saving substantial time and money. The Juniper Mist Cloud Architecture Juniper’s Mist AI leverages a cloud-native microservices architecture that delivers unparalleled agility, scale, and resiliency to your network. An AI engine lowers OpEx and delivers insights by using data science to analyze large amounts of rich metadata collected by the Juniper Access Points. Juniper Access Point Family The Juniper enterprise-grade access point family consists of:

  • AP45 Series, AP34, and AP24, which support Wi-Fi 6E, 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6), and Bluetooth LE
  • AP43 Series, AP33, AP32, AP12, and AP63 Series, which support 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) and Bluetooth LE The real-time microservices in Juniper Mist cloud manage all these access points. Datasheet Product Overview The wall plate AP12 access point driven by Mist AI automates network operations and boosts Wi-Fi performance. It’s optimized for environments that require easy, flexible deployment, and the simultaneous support of multiple devices. It supports an aggregate data rate up to 1.8 Gbps concurrently on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios. Managed by Juniper Mist Cloud Architecture, the AP12 access point delivers unprecedented user experiences at a lower cost for branch office, remote worker, school dormitory, and hotel room environments.

The AP12 access point is a tri-radio 2x2:2 SS 802.11ax access point with maximum data rates of 1,200 Mbps in the 5 GHz band and 575 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band. The integrated third radio functions as a network, location, and security sensor, a synthetic test client radio, as well as a spectrum monitor. By adding 802.11ax Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU- MIMO), and BSS Coloring technologies, performance is boosted to 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 AI for AX capabilities, which optimize BSS coloring, 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 the burden and 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 With the increasing complexity that the addition of 6 GHz spectrum to the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz spectrum brings, reliable RF optimization is even more critical than in the past. Radio resource management (RRM) 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 the SLE coverage and capacity metrics to learn and optimize the RF environment. A learning algorithm uses hysteresis on a 24-hour window to conduct sitewide rebalancing for optimal channel and power assignment. Proactive Insight and Action A dedicated dual-band third radio collects data for Juniper’s patent- pending Proactive Analytics and Correlation Engine (PACE), which leverages machine learning to analyze user experience, correlate problems, and automatically detect root causes. 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 is able to function as a synthetic test client to proactively detect and mitigate network anomalies. 1Juniper Mist Premium Analytics service subscription is needed 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 Network Assistant Marvis is a natural language processing (NLP)-based assistant with a conversational interface that help the understanding of user intent and goals, simplifies troubleshooting, and collects 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. AP12 Access Point Datasheet

Effortless, Cloud-Based Setup and Updates The AP12 access point 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 Wireless Assurance, User Engagement, and Asset Visibility services include a base analytics capability for analyzing up to 30 days of data, which enables you to simplify the process of extracting network insights across your enterprise. If you require dynamic insights like motion paths1 and other third-party1 data and would like the option of customized reports, the Juniper Mist Premium Analytics service is available as an additional subscription. Improves Battery Efficiency for Io T Devices The AP incorporates the 802.11ax target wake time (TWT) capability and Bluetooth 5.0, which together extend IoT devices’ battery life as new IoT devices join the network. Dynamic Debugging Constantly monitor services running on the AP12 model and send alerts whenever a service behaves abnormally. Dynamic debugging relieves IT of having to worry about an AP going offline or any services running on it becoming unavailable. Juniper Mist Edge Juniper APs offer a flexible data plane. Juniper Mist Edge is an on- premises appliance that runs a tunnel termination service. T raffic can be broken out locally or tunneled to Juniper Mist Edge. Juniper Mist Edge use cases include seamless mobility in large campus environments, tunneling of guest traffic to a DMZ, IoT segmentation, and teleworker services.
