Description
Mist AP41 IEEE 802.11ac 2.50 Gbit/s Wireless Access Point – 2.40 GHz, 5 GHz – MIMO Technology – 3 x Network (RJ-45) – Gigabit Ethernet – Ceiling Mountable, Wall MountableBest-in-class Access, Insight, Operations and Services
Mist has built a wireless platform from the ground up to deliver smart wireless services for the smart device era. With advanced features like machine learning, analytics, event correlation, dynamic packet capture and high accuracy location services, Mist provides a user-first approach to wireless that simplifies operations and delivers a superior experience for wireless users.
The Mist platform consists of the following components, purpose-built to give unpraecedented insight into wireless user behavior for simpler operations and amazing mobile experiences:
- Mist Intelligent Wireless Cloud (IWC) – The Mist cloud platform is designed to provide unprecedented visibility and control at web scale, with a microservices architecture for extreme agility when rolling out new features/services
- Mist Access Points – The Mist AP41 (profiled here) is a high performance, enterprise-grade Access Point for 802.11ac Wave 2 Gigabit WiFi and Bluetooth Low Energy. The Mist BT11 is an enterprise-grade Access Point exclusively for Bluetooth Low Energy (for more information, see the BT11 data sheet).
By combining the AP41 with the Mist cloud platform, Mist enables the following strategic wireless services:
- Business Critical Wi-Fi Assurance – Mist brings automation to wireless management, replacing reactive networking troubleshooting tasks with a new paradigm for smart automated wireless operations. This minimizes network operations costs while enabling IT departments to focus less on connectivity and more on value-added mobility services
- Enterprise-Grade BLE Location Services – The same Mist platform used for business critical WiFi can also be used to deliver high accuracy location services using enterprise grade BLE. Mist customers can bring value to their business with advanced wireless location services like push advertising, wayfinding/navigation, asset tracking, and analytics.
The AP41’s specific role in the above services includes:
- Best-in-class wireless access – The AP41 delivers high performance wireless access with three 802.11ac Wave 2 radios and an integrated 16-element vBLE antenna array controlled from the Mist Cloud. The AP41 supports up to 1,730 Mbps throughput in the 5GHz band and up to 800 Mbps in the 2.4GHz band.
- Collect data for insight and action – The AP41 has a dedicated dual-band radio that is used to collect the data needed for Mist’s patent-pending Proactive Analytics and Correlation Engine (PACE), which leverages machine learning to analyze user experience, correlate problems and automatically detect the root causes of problems. In addition, these metrics are used to monitor service level expectations and provide proactive recommendations to ensure problems don’t occur (or are fixed as quickly as possible when they do happen).
