AP45 Access Point

The Juniper AP45 extends the capabilities of the AP43 to the 6GHz band, delivering high-performance Wi-Fi 6E with patented virtual Bluetooth® LE (vBLE) technology. Designed for enterprises requiring greater channel width and capacity, the AP45 leverages Juniper AI for Wi-Fi 6E to optimize user and operator experiences with secure, near real-time client-to-cloud automation, insights, and actions.

Featuring a tri-band design with a dedicated fourth radio and a dynamic 16-element vBLE antenna array, the AP45 provides the industry’s most accurate and scalable location services—including user engagement, asset visibility, and contact tracing—without the need for battery-powered BLE beacons or manual calibration.

Features & Benefits

High-Performance Wi-Fi Access

The AP45 is a four-radio, four-spatial stream 802.11ax access point with maximum data rates of:

• 6 GHz band: 4800 Mbps

• 5 GHz band: 2400 Mbps

• 2.4 GHz band: 1148 Mbps

The dedicated fourth radio functions as a network, location, and security sensor, a synthetic test client radio, and a spectrum monitor.

AI for AX™

Juniper’s AI for AX automates and optimizes 802.11ax features, including:

• BSS coloring for improved channel efficiency

• AP-to-client scheduling with OFDMA

• Smart client steering to the best available radio

Automatic RF Optimization

Radio Resource Management (RRM) dynamically adjusts channels and transmit power using the AP’s dedicated sensor radio, accounting for Wi-Fi and external interference. Mist AI continuously monitors coverage and capacity metrics to optimize the RF environment.

Exceptional Insights

A dedicated tri-band fourth radio feeds data to Juniper’s Proactive Analytics and Correlation Engine (PACE). Machine learning analyzes user experiences, correlates issues, and identifies root causes automatically.

Improved IoT Battery Life

Using 802.11ax Target Wake Time (TWT) and Bluetooth 5.1, the AP45 extends battery life for new and existing IoT devices as they join the network.

Dynamic Packet Capture

The AP45 captures and streams packets to the cloud automatically when major issues are detected, reducing the need for on-site troubleshooting with expensive sniffers and truck rolls.

Cloud-Based Setup & Updates

Automatically connecting to the Juniper Mist Cloud, the AP45 downloads its configuration, joins the network, and applies firmware updates to ensure continuous access to the latest features, fixes, and security enhancements.

Premium Analytics

Mist Wi-Fi Assurance, User Engagement, and Asset Visibility services provide analytics for up to 30 days. Premium Analytics extends capabilities for deeper insights, long-term trends, custom reporting, and enterprise-wide optimization.

High-Accuracy Indoor Location

The 16-element vBLE antenna array, controlled from the Mist Cloud, delivers precise turn-by-turn location services, including asset tracking, wayfinding, proximity messaging, and contact tracing. Directional passive antennas enable 1–3 meter accuracy without additional hardware or beacons.
