Like Carl Lewis leaped into history with his fourth consecutive long jump gold at the ‘96 Olympics, or how legendary teams—from the Boston Celtics in the 60’s to the Montreal Canadiens to the MLB’s New York Yankees in 1952—all won four or more straight championships, Juniper has been recognized as a Leader for the fourth consecutive time in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Wired and Wireless LAN Infrastructure (published March 2024). For us, it’s not just a recognition; it’s a testament to our relentless drive and top-tier performance.
The latest 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Wired and Wireless LAN Infrastructure is out, and—for the fourth time in a row—Juniper Networks is a Leader. Not only that, but for the third time in a row, Juniper continues to be positioned farthest and highest in Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute, respectively. I think this is a big deal considering we’re a vendor with an AI-native and cloud-based solution. Juniper Mist is leading a new era of IT that brings unprecedented simplicity, scale, and insight for proactive and efficient IT operations. Juniper is propelled by its differentiated AIOps features, strong switching portfolio, and network security advancements.
The Only Vendor to be Recognized as a Leader in Both the 2024 Magic Quadrant for Indoor Location Services and 2024 Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Wired & Wireless LAN Infrastructure Reports
And that’s only part of the story; Gartner also positioned Juniper as a Leader in the 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Indoor Location Services. Juniper is the only vendor recognized as a Leader in both reports and, again, we are a consecutively recognized Leader for the past four times in Wired and Wireless Infrastructure, and a Leader for the last three years in Indoor Location Services.
Given our diverse strengths, we believe Juniper is an ideal choice for enterprises looking to deliver wired, Wi-Fi, IoT, and indoor location as a single integrated infrastructure. We also believe what sets us apart is our innovative Mist AI™ and cloud-native capabilities, offering fast deployment and the easiest management of personalized Wi-Fi experiences. The tangible results include a staggering 90% reduction in wireless trouble tickets, an 85% decrease in truck rolls, deployment times that are 9x faster, and successful implementations at the top three global retailers and the largest healthcare system in the United States.
Putting Experience First with Juniper’s AI-Native Networking Platform
At Juniper, we recognize that exceptional experiences are equally critical for end users and IT teams, so we’ve worked hard to remove friction points for wired and wireless networking design, deployment, and troubleshooting. We’ve also made it easier and more cost effective for customers and partners to operate indoor location services without the need for overlay hardware or proprietary technologies. With the virtualization of Mist battery beacons, convergence of Wi-Fi/BLE, and machine learning to eliminate calibration surveys, indoor location is moving from a nice-to-have to a must-have.
We believe our recognition in these Gartner Magic Quadrant reports validates Juniper’s experience-first approach to networking with our AI-Native Networking Platform, which is enabled by our unwavering commitment to:
Microservices Cloud Architecture
Our modern cloud with microservices delivers elastic scale with built-in resiliency, unparalleled agility, and bi-weekly feature updates. Our 100% API-driven platform extends across all Juniper products and to ecosystem partners, bringing network assurance together with zero trust security, automated orchestration, and application assurance.
Industry-leading AIOps
Powered by seven years of reinforced learning, Juniper’s AI-Native Networking platform transforms data into actionable insights. Automated workflows and self-driving AIOps enable proactive issue detected and resolution. And Marvis™, the industry’s only AI-native end-to-end VNA, simplifies operations, while saving time and money.
Assured User Experiences
Our AI-Native Networking Platform leverages over seven years of AI learning to assure that every connection is reliable, measurable, and secure for every device, user, application, and asset.
Personalized Indoor Location Services
Juniper offers precise location services with 1–3-meter accuracy, real-time insights and analytics, and asset visibility with Patented virtual Bluetooth® LE (vBLE) without the need for overlay hardware or proprietary technologies. We offer customers and partners a scalable and cost-effective way to personalize wireless experiences with value-added features like wayfinding, asset location, and contextual notifications. We accomplish this through our unique and patented vBLE technology fused with our AI-Native microservices cloud platform that has 100% API access for integrations, with over 40 location services ecosystem partners.

Juniper’s AI-Native Networking Platform
We attribute our consistent position as a Leader for the past four times in Wired and Wireless Infrastructure and for the last three years for Indoor Location Services to our vision of using artificial intelligence and network automation to deliver exceptional experiences for end users and IT operators.
Juniper is the only vendor with a fully integrated AI-native portfolio of campus and branch networking solutions. We bring indoor location services, wireless access, wired access, SD-WAN, NAC, and security under a common umbrella with the Mist AI engine and a microservices cloud infrastructure. We believe our full-stack campus and branch solution is faster to deploy and the easiest to operate, resulting in the best end-to-end assured user experiences.
There are critical differences between bandwagon bolt-on AI vs. AI-native capabilities. Mist AI is the heart of Juniper’s industry-first AI-Native Networking Platform. AI holds the key to simplifying operations and the modern microservices cloud architecture in Mist AI delivers true visibility, automation, and assurance across the full stack of an enterprise network. We feel strongly that our continued leadership is a testament to our ability in making network outages, trouble tickets, and application downtime things of the past.
A BIG thank you goes out to all the dedicated team members at Juniper who played a vital role in reaching these accomplishments. We are also grateful to our valued customers, Juniper authorized partners, and industry analysts who consistently place their trust in Juniper’s AI-native networking solutions.
