Juniper Expands to Unlock the Full Potential of Wi-Fi 7

The new EX4100-H hardened switch series can withstand extreme conditions such as high vibrations and shocks, as well as extended temperature ranges, making it the perfect solution for outdoor use in smart cities, factory automation and other demanding environments which leverage Wi-Fi 6 and 6E today, with an expected migration to Wi-Fi 7.

Juniper Networks has introduced important updates to its AI-Native Networking Platform, helping customers and partners make the most of the new Wi-Fi 7. This new version offers faster speeds, lower delays, longer range, and better reliability than earlier Wi-Fi versions. By combining Juniper Mist Wi-Fi 7 access points (APs) and powerful campus EX switches with Mist AI and cloud-based networking and security services, Juniper’s solution maximizes the benefits of Wi-Fi 7. It also allows for an easy, affordable, and more sustainable upgrade to the latest wireless technology.

Building on its cloud-hosted wired, wireless and Mist AI leadership, Juniper has announced new AP47 Series Access Points to deliver high performance Wi-Fi 7 with integrated location services with advanced AI, purpose built for Wi-Fi 7. This flagship indoor AP is a tri-band, four-radio AP with support for dual-5GHz or dual-6GHz operation and a dedicated scanning radio.

Built on Juniper’s proven microservices cloud architecture, the AP47 provides a foundation for scalable digital transformation efforts, IoT connectivity and personalised location services. Juniper is introducing new EX4400-48MXP and EX4400-48XP switches that modernises wired/wireless infrastructure with support for higher power devices, such as Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 APs, increased multigigabit port density and an AI-Native, cloud-native architecture that reduces operational expenses. These will streamline IT operations and deliver better experiences for users and devices.

The new family of EX Series Switches is the only AI-native and cloud-native switching solution that supports up to 3600W of power. This allows for widespread use of higher-power IoT devices and migration to high-performance Wi-Fi 7 Access Points. The new EX Series Switches are managed via the Juniper Mist cloud.

These switches help improve sustainability by managing smart buildings with smart lighting. Power is supplied directly through the switch, reducing the need for the building's power infrastructure. This reduces inefficiencies and enables automation, turning off PoE when areas are unoccupied. This feature provides scalability, flexibility, and automation for better user experiences. The EX Series Switch family now includes temperature- and environment-hardened models for new use cases.
