DATASHEET | JUNIPER AP41 SERIES

ACCESS POINT FEATURES

High-Performance Wi-Fi

The AP41 Series comprises tri-radio 4x4 access points with

maximum data rates of 1,730 Mbps in the 5GHz band and 800

Mbps in the 2.4GHz band. The third radio functions as a network,

location, and security sensor as well as a spectrum monitor.

The AP41 Series is available with internal and external antenna models.

High-Accuracy Indoor Location

The AP41 has a 16-element virtual Bluetooth LE (vBLE) antenna

array controlled from the Juniper Mist cloud. Passive antennas

enhance the power of a single transmitter and produce directional

beams to accurately detect distance and location with 1-3 meter

accuracy. With Juniper’s patented vBLE technology, you can deploy

an unlimited number of virtual beacons in your physical environment

with no need to install battery-powered physical BLE beacons.

Unprecedented Insight and Action

A dedicated dual-band radio collects data for Juniper’s patent-

pending Proactive Analytics and Correlation Engine (PACE), which

relies on machine learning to analyze user experiences, correlate

problems, and automatically detect their root cause. These metrics

are used to monitor SLEs and provide proactive recommendations to

ensure that problems don’t occur or are fixed as quickly as possible

if they do.

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

The Marvis natural language processing (NLP)-based assistant with

a Conversational Interface to understand user intent and goals,

simplifying network troubleshooting and the collection of data

insights. It uses AI and data science to proactively identify issues,

determine their root causes and scope of impact, and deliver

actionable visibility into your network and users. The assistant

eliminates the need for you to manually hunt through endless

dashboards and CLI commands for the data you need.

Network and Business Insights

Wi-Fi Assurance includes a base analytics capability for analyzing

up to 30 days of data, enabling you to simplify the process of

extracting network insights from data and analytics across your

enterprise. Review your network throughput peaks to properly align

your support resources. To extend these capabilities to third-party*

network elements, consume up to one year* of data, and gain the

option to generate customized* reports, the Juniper Mist Premium

Analytics service is available as an additional subscription.

Effortless, Cloud-Based Setup and Updates

The AP41 Series automatically connects to the Juniper Mist cloud,

downloads its AP 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.

Dynamic Debugging

Constantly monitor services running on the AP41 Series 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.

Automatic RF Optimization

Juniper’s 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 coverage and capacity SLE metrics to

learn and optimize the RF environment. A learning algorithm uses

hysteresis on a 24-hour window to conduct a site-wide rebalancing

for optimal channel and power assignment.
