New high-performance access points and switches combine with unique AI for Networking, security and sustainability capabilities to deliver exceptional Wi-Fi 7 experiences at scale
Juniper Networks announced several key enhancements to its AI-Native Networking Platform, which promises higher throughput, lower latency, extended range and greater reliability than previous Wi-Fi versions. By combining new Juniper Mist Wi-Fi 7 access points and high-power campus EX switches with Juniper’s award-winning Mist AI and cloud-native networking and security services, Juniper’s market-leading wired and wireless Local Area Networking (LAN) access solution uniquely maximizes the full potential of Wi-Fi 7 while enabling a seamless, cost-effective and more sustainable transition to the latest wireless technology.

Wi-Fi 7 not only requires state-of-the-art accent points and switches to assure outstanding performance and scale, but also needs robust AIOps and secure access to facilitate migration to the latest wireless standard and assure the best user experiences on an ongoing basis. Building on its cloud-hosted wired, wireless and Mist AI leadership, today Juniper is extending the AI-Native Networking Platform with multiple innovations to enhance experiences with Wi-Fi 7:
New AP47 Series Access Points deliver high performance Wi-Fi 7 with integrated location services with advanced AI, purpose built for Wi-Fi 7. This flagship indoor accent point brings the highest performance to enterprises needing fast, secure and resilient wireless for high density environments and growing mobility demands.
Built on Juniper’s microservices cloud architecture, the AP47 provides a foundation for scalable digital transformation efforts, IoT connectivity and personalized location services.
By integrating UWB location-based technology directly into the AP47 along with BLE, Juniper is rapidly innovating with a converged powerful multifunction gateway for industry-leading ultra-precise real time location accuracy and OT/IoT use cases.
Also Juniper is introducing new EX4400-48MXP and EX4400-48XPswitches.
With these new higher power EX Series Switches, all managed via the Juniper Mist cloud, sustainability is boosted by deploying and managing smart buildings with smart lighting, as power can be supplied directly through the switch rather than from the building’s power infrastructure, reducing inefficiencies and enabling automation of PoE status to disable building systems when floors or areas are unoccupied. This capability delivers scale, agility and automation for improved user experiences.
“This announcement directly addresses two of the top concerns from our customers and partners: reliable Wi-Fi that’s easy to manage. Competing solutions in the market may struggle with the additional complexity of configuring and optimizing Wi-Fi networks resulting from recently expanded RF spectrum available for use and additional features of Wi-Fi 7. Juniper’s unique AI for Wi-Fi 7 leverages reinforced learning to optimize channel and power settings to maximize the performance and experience for end users and devices, without manual tuning. This helps our customers move away from complex, hard-to-troubleshoot legacy controller-based architectures, where it’s nearly impossible to build a self-driving AI-Native network,” said Sudheer Matta, GVP Products for Campus and Branch, Juniper Networks
