Three four‑spatial stream data serving radios with maximum data rates of 11528 Mbps in the 6 GHz band, 5764 Mbps in the 5 GHz band, and 688 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band. A dedicated fourth tri‑band scanning radio provides WIDS/WIPS, spectrum analysis, sensor and location analytics. With 802.11be Multi-Link Operation (MLO), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Multi ‑User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU‑MIMO), and BSS Coloring technologies, both AP37 and AP36 Series offer performance at unprecedented levels to support new bandwidth‑hungry applications and soaring device densities. Wi-Fi 7 amendment The new 802.11be amendment (Wi-Fi 7) expands the capabilities of Wi‑Fi 6E, including the use of up to 1200 MHz of the 6 GHz band for higher throughput and improved application performance. New capabilities include 320 MHz channels which provides double the throughput, MLO for more efficient load balancing and failover, Multi ‑Resource Units (Multi ‑RU), preamble puncturing, and 4K QAM for higher transmission rates and better user experiences. Only Wi‑Fi 7 and 6E client devices can use the 6 GHz band so there is no interference due to IoT or legacy devices. AI for AX Juniper automates and optimizes Wi‑Fi 7 features with AI for AX capabilities to 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. Improved Io T operations The AP37 Series extends network monitoring and insights to vBLE (AP36 supports omnidirectional BLE), Thread*, Zigbee*, or Matter* to increase IoT capabilities with dual 802.15.4 radios for concurrent location services and electronic shelf labels (ESL). *future considerations 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 that 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 Reliable RF optimization is even more critical with the addition of 6 GHz spectrum. Radio Resource Management uses a dedicated sensor radio to automate dynamic channel and power assignments, thus avoiding Wi‑Fi and external sources of interference. The Marvis® AI engine continuously monitors coverage and capacity SLE metrics to learn and optimize the RF environment. A learning AP37 and AP36 Access Point Datasheet
algorithm uses hysteresis on a 24‑hour window to conduct a sitewide rebalancing for optimal channel and power assignment. In some regulatory domains, there are special rules to govern the usage of 6 GHz when the AP has either removable External Antennas or is weatherized.

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). Improved Io T battery efficiency By incorporating the 802.11ax target wake time (TWT) capability and Bluetooth 6.0, AP37 and AP36 Series APs help extend the battery life of IoT devices, particularly as additional ones join the network. Dynamic debugging Constantly monitor services running on the AP37 and AP36, sending 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. Dynamic packet capture and dynamic spectrum capture The Juniper Mist platform automatically captures packets and radio frequency spectrum and streams them to the cloud when major issues are detected. AI‑native dynamic packet capture and dynamic spectrum capture enable “network rewind” to identify and resolve wireless interference issues more efficiently. Both features save IT teams time and effort. They use sniffers to reproduce and capture data for troubleshooting, which eliminates the need for truck rolls. Marvis AI Assistant Marvis AI Assistant is a natural language processing-based assistant with a conversational interface that helps with the understanding of user intent and goals, simplifies troubleshooting, and collects network insights. Marvis AI Assistant 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. Marvis AI Assistant eliminates the need to manually hunt through endless dashboards and CLI commands. Effortless, cloud-based setup and updates The AP37 and AP36 automatically connect to the Juniper Mist cloud, download its configuration, and join 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. AP37 and AP36 Access Point Datasheet
