AP34 Access Points Overview
The Juniper® AP34 High Performance Access Point is a Wi-Fi 6E indoor access point (AP) that leverages the Mist AI to automate network operations and boost Wi-Fi performance. The AP34 is capable of operating simultaneously in the 6-GHz band, 5-GHz band, and 2.4-GHz band along with a dedicated tri-band scan radio. The AP34 is suitable for deployments that do not require advanced location services.
The AP34 has three IEEE 802.11ax data radios, which deliver up to 2x2 multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) with two spatial streams. The AP34 also has a fourth radio that is dedicated for scanning. 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 AP34 has an omnidirectional Bluetooth antenna to support asset visibility use cases. The AP34 provides real-time network insights and asset location services without the need for battery-powered Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons and manual calibration.
The AP34 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.

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 AP34 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 6 spectrum by ensuring consistent service to multiple connected devices in high-density environments.
