AP32 Access Points Overview

The Juniper® AP32 High Performance Access Point is a Wi-Fi 6 indoor access point (AP) that leverages the Mist AI to automate network operations and boost Wi-Fi performance. The AP32 is suitable for retail, warehouse, school, clinic, and home office environments.

The AP32 has three IEEE 802.11ax radios, which deliver up to 4x4 multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) with four spatial streams. Out of the three radios, one is dedicated for scanning. The AP uses this radio for radio resource management (RRM) and wireless security. The AP can operate in either multi-user or single-user mode. The AP is backward compatible with the 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.11ac wireless standards.

The AP32 has an omnidirectional Bluetooth antenna to support asset visibility use cases. The AP32 provides real-time network insights and asset location services without the need for battery-powered Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons and manual calibration. The antenna gains will vary for the internal and external antenna models of the AP.

The AP32 provides maximum data rates of 2400 Mbps in the 5-GHz band and 575 Mbps in the 2.4-GHz band.

Juniper products are manufactured in accordance with electrical and environmental regulations specific to certain regions and countries. Customers are responsible for ensuring that any regional or country-specific SKUs are used only in the specified authorized area. Failure to do so may void the warranty of Juniper products.

Benefits of AP32 Access Points

  • Simple and quick deployment—You can deploy the AP with minimal manual intervention. The AP automatically connects to the Mist cloud after powering on, downloads its configuration, and connects to the appropriate network. Automatic firmware upgrades ensure that the AP runs the latest firmware version.

  • Proactive troubleshooting—The AI-driven Marvis® Virtual Network Assistant leverages the Mist AI to identify issues proactively and provide recommendations to fix issues. Marvis can identify issues such as offline APs and APs with insufficient capacities and coverage issues.

  • Improved performance through automatic RF optimization—Juniper radio resource management (RRM) automates dynamic channel and power assignment, which helps to reduce interference and enhance user experience. The Mist AI monitors the coverage and capacity metrics and optimizes the RF environment.
