The Juniper® AP21 High Performance Access Point is a Wi-Fi 5 indoor access point (AP) that supports
802.11ac Wave 2, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and Internet of Things (IoT). The AP21 leverages the
Mist AI to collect and analyze real-me data from wireless clients. Mist uses this data to idenfy a
network problem and its root cause and also provide proacve recommendaons for resoluon.
The AP21 has two IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2 radios, which deliver up to 2x2 mulple input, mulple output
(MIMO) with two spaal streams in each of the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radio bands. The AP21 is backward
compable with the 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n wireless standards.
The AP21 has a dynamic virtual Bluetooth Low Energy (vBLE) antenna array that the Juniper Mist cloud
controls. The AP21 leverages the Mist AI to provide highly accurate Bluetooth LE locaon services using
virtual beacons. Virtual beacons eliminate the need for physical beacons, resulng in me and cost
savings.
The AP21 provides maximum data rates of 867 Mbps in the 5-GHz band and 400 Mbps in the 2.4-GHz
band.
