The Juniper® AP43 High Performance Access Point is a Wi-Fi 6 indoor access point (AP) that integrates
virtual Bluetooth® LE (vBLE) and Internet of Things (IoT) to provide an enhanced user experience. The
AP43 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 AP43 has three IEEE 802.11ax radios, which deliver up to 4x4 mulple input, mulple output
(MIMO) with four spaal streams. The AP43 can operate in either mul-user or single-user mode. Out
of the three radios, one is dedicated for scanning. The AP uses this radio for radio resource management
(RRM) and wireless security.
Managed by the Juniper Mist cloud, the AP43 collects and analyzes real-me metadata from all wireless
clients. The AP43 is backward compable with the 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.11ac
wireless standards.
The AP43 also has a 16-element virtual Bluetooth Low Energy (vBLE) antenna array to support asset
visibility use cases. The AP43 provides real-me network insights and asset locaon services without
the need for baery-powered BLE beacons and manual calibraon.
The AP43 also has integrated IoT sensors and an interface port to control analog or digital devices. This
capability is useful in advanced locaon-based use cases, such as door locking and camera control.
The AP43 provides maximum data rates of 2400 Mbps in the 5-GHz band and 1148 Mbps in the 2.4-
GHz band.
