MIST MIST-AP21-2S-3Y High Performance Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® LE
Mist built the first AI-driven wireless platform, designed specifically for the Smart Device Era. Mist’s Learning Wireless LAN (WLAN) makes Wi-Fi predictable, reliable and measurable by providing unprecedented visibility into the user experience and by replacing time consuming manual IT tasks with proactive automation. In addition, Mist is the first vendor to bring Enterprise-grade Wi-Fi, Bluetooth® LE and IoT together to deliver personalized, location-based wireless services without requiring battery-powered beacons.
The Mist Learning WLAN consists of the following components:
Mist Marvis AI – Patent-pending machine learning algorithms adapt in real-time to optimize the wireless user experience. In addition, Marvis uses AI to proactively automate IT operations, provide real-time alerts, and predict problems before they arise.
Mist Cloud – All wireless deployment, setup, operations, and insight are handled via the Mist cloud, which was designed to provide unprecedented visibility and control at web scale. A microservices architecture provides maximum agility when rolling out new features/services.
Mist Access Points – The AP21 (detailed here), AP41, and AP61 are high performance, enterprise-grade Access Points for 802.11ac Wave 2 Gigabit Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® Low Energy. The Mist BT11 is an enterprise-grade Access Point exclusively for Bluetooth® Low Energy.
High performance Wi-Fi access
The AP21 delivers high performance wireless access with two 802.11ac Wave 2 radios that deliver up to 867 Mbps in the 5GHz band and up to 400 Mbps in the 2.4Ghz band.
High accuracy indoor location
The AP21 has a 16-element Virtual Bluetooth® LE (vBLE) antenna array controlled from the Mist Cloud. Passive antennas enhance the power of a single transmitter and produce directional beams to accurately detect distance and location with 1 to 3 meter accuracy. With Mist’s patented vBLE technology, you can deploy an unlimited amount of virtual beacons in your physical environment without requiring battery powered BLE beacons.
Unprecedented insight and action
A dedicated dual band radio collects data 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 cause of problems. 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).
Dynamic packet capture
The Mist platform automatically captures packets and streams them to the cloud when major issues are detected. This saves IT time and effort and eliminates the need for truck rolls with sniffers.
Effortless, cloud-based setup and updates
The AP21 automatically connects to the Mist cloud, downloads its configuration, and joins the appropriate network. Firmware updates are retrieved and installed automatically, ensuring that the network is always up to date with new features, bug fixes, and security updates.
Dynamic debugging
Constantly monitor services running on the AP21 and send alerts whenever a service behaves abnormally. Dynamic debugging relieves IT of having to worry about an AP going offline or any services running on becoming unavailable
