The need
The game changer
The outcome

The need

Due to rapidly changing buying behaviors, a renewed focus on in-store experiences, and a growing skills and resource gap, these retail store locations needed to evolve their traditional WLAN infrastructures. The breadth of the locations’ technologies and platforms had grown by 4x in the past few years, and current infrastructure could not scale.

The game changer

With the adoption of Juniper Mist solutions, retail stores turned their operations around with experience-first networking and predictable, reliable, measurable Wi-Fi. As a result, the IT team has unprecedented visibility into user experiences, and can consistently deliver on expected service levels.

WLAN was a must to leverage the scale and resiliency of the public cloud, and had to be based on modern engineering principles. Full access to rich APIs was needed to integrate the network into an in-house tool suite.

The outcome

Managed software-defined wireless LAN gives the IT team proactive insights and recommended actions. This resolves most (if not all) issues before they impact the network, which means the team doesn’t have to troubleshoot as often, and can clearly identify problems and remediate them quickly at specific stores.

The benefits don’t end at IT team efficiency. The retail stores’ location-based marketing is simplified and modernized, with access points (APs) using virtual Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) beacons rather than traditional battery-powered ones. By providing better in-store wireless experiences for guests and workers, they’re building shopper loyalty and increasing engagement across the business.

The smarter way forward
The outcome

The challenge

A hospital needed to connect more medical equipment to their care system, and support patient rehabilitation and recovery with modern digital health tools. From computers on wheels to tablets, more of the hospital’s network was being utilized by smart tools and devices.

Staff, patients and visitors also requested to connect Wi-Fi enabled devices to wireless. The hospital needed to modernize to maintain high service standards, improve patient care and retain the best clinicians.

The smarter way forward

Juniper Mist solutions deliver a simplified and always-optimized network experience to clinicians, staff, patients and visitors. High-performance Wi-Fi 6E is available throughout spaces to connect anyone at the location.

Integrated indoor location services allowed the hospital to transform the patient and visitor experience with wayfinding and asset visibility. Metadata is also collected and analyzed from all wireless clients, providing rich insights to improve user experiences.

The outcome

Critical smart medical devices stay connected, and more services like Juniper Mist Asset Visibility are being implemented to track and locate high-value assets like wheelchairs and transfusion pumps. Clinicians, therapists and administrative staff have resilient access to applications, and patients and families can easily connect to Wi-Fi.

IT has clear visibility into service level expectations, and doesn’t have to wait for staff to notify them of issues.

The obstacle
The shift to innovation
The outcome

The obstacle

A craft and floral foam warehouse created a challenging environment for consistent Wi-Fi experiences. The foam products in the warehouse absorbed wireless signals, and moving a couple aisles deep in the facility caused them to drop.

Connectivity delays rippled into bigger issues, like putting shipments on hold—a critical thing to resolve since every second counts for this business.

The shift to innovation

After connecting the first access point, the company realized they’d just implemented a game-changing solution. The Mist AI engine continuously monitored coverage and capacity metrics to learn and optimize the RF environment with AI-driven Radio Resource Management (RRM), leading to better user experiences in the warehouse.

The outcome

Using Wi-Fi Assurance, the company’s operations are streamlined, freeing up IT time. User complaints about bad Wi-Fi became less frequent, and team members now plan production and manage inventory from wireless kiosks.

Automated manufacturing is supported by consistent Wi-Fi, and connected cameras and sensors facilitate processes. Wi-Fi works just as well in areas housing foam products, and users can efficiently and accurately pick inventory and pack orders.

The issue
The best network
The outcome

The issue

A university’s CIO needed to align IT initiatives with their campus mission and strategic plan—staying at the leading edge of technology. Wi-Fi experiences had to be prioritized; students demanded fast and reliable wireless service, but the network was being pushed to its capacity.

Over 25,000 connected devices and counting created a mediocre Wi-Fi experience, especially in historic buildings and large lecture halls. The ability to connect beyond the dorm was a necessity; students required access to the learning management system or classroom technologies from a variety of places on campus.

The best network

The university completely refreshed its network, from fiber to access points, with Juniper Mist solutions. Rollout started with smaller areas of the campus, with plans to adopt new networking solutions across 200 buildings.

The campus network leverages Ethernet VPN-Virtual Extensible LAN (EVPN-VXLAN) to deliver Layer 2/Layer 3 connectivity with greater scale and efficiency. This significantly increases security zones on campus. Additionally, Juniper’s solutions create a more reliable and automated networking experience.

The outcome

With the new 5 GHz Wi-Fi network, designed for high-density mobile environments, students can easily access learning management systems, collaborate on presentations and even run engineering simulations—no matter their location on campus. At the same time, professors can use connected devices as visual aids in class, and administrative staff always have the resources they need to complete their duties successfully.

Juniper Mist solutions give IT visibility into user experiences, and can establish, measure and enforce defined service levels. The team is notified of connectivity issues, and campus staff can even resolve more issues independently, without escalating to the IT team. In the end, the team experienced a 10x reduction in ticket escalations.
