AP24 Access Points Overview
The Juniper® AP24 High Performance Access Point is an indoor Wi-Fi 6E access point (AP) that supports 802.11ax. The AP24 leverages the Mist AI to automate network operation and enhance Wi-Fi performance in the 6-GHz band. The AP24 supports two bands simultaneously and is suitable for deployments that do not require advanced location services.
The AP24 has two IEEE 802.11ax data radios, which deliver up to 2x2 multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) with two spatial streams. The AP24 also has a third radio that is dedicated for scanning. This radio can operate in the 2.4-GHz or 6-GHz band. The AP uses this radio for radio resource management (RRM) and wireless security. The AP can operate in either multi-user or single-user mode.
The AP is backward compatible with the 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.11ac wireless standards. The AP24 also has an omnidirectional BLE antenna to support asset visibility use cases.
The AP24 provides maximum data rates of 2400 Mbps in the 6-GHz band, 1200 Mbps in the 5-GHz band, and 575 Mbps in the 2.4-GHz band.

Juniper products are manufactured in accordance with electrical and environmental regulations specific to certain regions and countries. Customers are responsible for ensuring that any regional or country-specific SKUs are used only in the specified authorized area. Failure to do so may void the warranty of Juniper products.
Benefits of AP24 Access Points
Simple and quick deployment—You can deploy the AP with minimal manual intervention. The AP automatically connects to the Mist cloud after powering on, downloads its configuration, and connects to the appropriate network. Automatic firmware upgrades ensure that the AP runs the latest firmware version.
Proactive troubleshooting—The AI-driven Marvis® Virtual Network Assistant leverages the Mist AI to identify issues proactively and provide recommendations to fix issues. Marvis can identify issues such as offline APs and APs with insufficient capacities and coverage issues.
Improved performance through automatic RF optimization—Juniper radio resource management (RRM) automates dynamic channel and power assignment, which helps to reduce interference and enhance user experience. The Mist AI monitors the coverage and capacity metrics and optimizes the RF environment.
Improved user experience using AI—The AP uses Mist AI to enhance user experience in the Wi-Fi 6E spectrum by ensuring consistent service to multiple connected devices in moderate-density environments.
