The Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) AP63 Series access points driven by Mist AI offer high performance Wi-Fi to ensure enterprise business continuity and operation efficiency in outdoor environments. The ruggedized and weather resistant access points can be deployed in extremely harsh environments to meet expected SLE and deliver unprecedented user experience. The AP63 Series integrates the Juniper patented AI for AX capabilities and dynamic Virtual Bluetooth LE (vBLE) antenna array to automate network operation and boost Wi-Fi performance, while providing real-time network insights and location services. Managed by the Juniper Mist Cloud Architecture, the outdoor AP63 Series is ideal for retail curbside, enterprise campus, public venue, outdoor station, and industrial site environments.

High-performance Wi-Fi
The outdoor AP63 Series are tri-radio 4x4 802.11ax access points with maximum data rates of 2,400 Mbps in the 5GHz band and 1,148 Mbps in the 2.4GHz band. The 3rd 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 into the AP63 Series, performance is boosted to unprecedented levels to support new bandwidth-hungry applications and soaring device densities.

AI for AX
With the innovative features that 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) introduces to boost performance and efficiency, the complexity of configuring and operating an access point has soared. Juniper is applying its advanced Mist AI technology to automate and optimize these features with its AI for AX capabilities. AI is leveraged in order to optimize BSS Coloring, to improve data transmission scheduling within OFDMA and MU-MIMO and to assign clients to the best radio to boost the overall performance of the network.
-
Boosts spectral efficiency
OFDMA improves spectral efficiency so that an increasing density of devices can be supported on the network, especially with 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 co-existence of overlapping BSS' and allows spatial reuse within a given channel by reducing the packet collisions. This helps you improve spectral efficiency for dense networks where channel reuse is increasing.
-
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 the coverage and capacity SLE metrics to learn and optimize the RF environment. The RRM learning algorithm uses hysteresis on a 24-hour window to conduct a site-wide rebalancing for optimal channel and power assignment.
-
Unprecedented insight and action
A dedicated dual band 3rd 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 the root cause of problems. These metrics are used to monitor service level expectations 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.
-
Improves battery efficiency for IoT Devices
By incorporating the 802.11ax target wake time (TWT) capability and Bluetooth 5.0, battery life for IoT devices can be extended as new IoT devices enter the network.
-
Dynamic debugging
Constantly monitor services running on the AP63 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 becoming unavailable.
-
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.
