Mist, a Juniper Networks company, was included in the 2019 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Wired and Wireless LAN Access Infrastructure. This is the third consecutive year they've been named a Visionary in the report. As of 27 September 2019, Mist Systems’ wireless access points have a 4.9 out of 5 rating for the Wired and Wireless LAN Access Infrastructure market, based on 26 total ratings on Gartner Peer Insights.

The news comes on the heels of a banner year for Mist that included record growth, new wireless networking products and the acquisition by Juniper Networks.

Juniper among 'Best Wireless LAN Access Infrastructure Vendors of 2019'

Earlier this year Juniper Networks was also recognized by Gartner as one of the “Best Wired and Wireless LAN Access Infrastructure vendors of 2019". Mist Systems introduced the world’s first AI-driven virtual network assistant, Marvis, which uses Natural Language Processing to provide unprecedented insight into the Wi-Fi experience and prescriptive guidance for fast troubleshooting.

Marvis complements other innovations from Mist, including wired/wireless service levels, dynamic packet capture, AI-driven support, anomaly detection and user engagement, using patented virtual Bluetooth™ LE.

Improving IT operations for AI-driven enterprises

Juniper Networks acquired Mist to round out the company’s enterprise portfolio and lay a foundation for end-to-end AI-driven automation and insight. This convergence of Mist AI innovations with Juniper’s robust portfolio of switching, routing and security solutions, is beneficial because it ultimately improves IT operations for AI-driven enterprises.

The Mist-Juniper solution is continuing to gain traction amongst top companies worldwide, with over 300 percent year-over-year growth and 3 of the Fortune 10 as customers.

“We are once again honored to be recognized by Gartner as a Visionary in the Magic Quadrant for Wired and Wireless LAN Access Infrastructure,” said Sujai Hajela, co-founder and CEO of Mist. “As a pioneer in AI-driven networking, we continue to bring automation and insight to enterprises with valuable features like wired/wireless assurance and AI-driven support. We are pleased that the industry has taken note of these innovations and has recognized Mist and Juniper for our ongoing achievements and momentum.”
