The first truly innovative wireless platform in over a decade,Mist provides the industry’s most accommodating guest access solution with all around options including: customizable branding, multiple language support, social login, external captive portal integration, and AAA/RADIUS integration. With the unique ability of offering the personal WLAN extension that permits secure encrypted segmentation, without the need for VLANs, Mist provides a user experience more fluent than any other.

Guest traffic can be tied to a designated ethernet port, locally bridged, or tunneled to an internal concentrator from access points. Indoor location services provide a huge opportunity to engage with employees, guest and customers while optimizing resources to save time and money. But wide spread adoption of these services has been limited by physical beacons and costly sight services- they just don’t scale. This all changes with Mist.

Indoor Wireless Experience

With the invention of scaleable enterprise grade BLE, Mist has flipped the model by virtualizing indoor location experience. Our patented directional BLE itinerary enable all Mist end-point to blanket an entire location with BLE. Location is computed in the Mist intelligent cloud. This lets you go beyond just listening to a tag, to interacting with an entire space. With this new model beacons are completely virtual.

You can create as many as you want, wherever you want and change them as often as you want. You can adjust the API from day to night, to weekend without the hassle and cost of physical beacons. With machine learning, annual calibration and sight surveys are a thing of the past.

The Mist platform also includes comprehensive zone analytics, like visits and dwell times, providing rich insight into personnel and resource utilization. The world is ready for a new indoor location experience, and you are too! Mist is the smart wireless solution for the smart era.

Access Points

Mist is leading the convergence of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and IoT with their enterprise-grade Access Points. Access Points feature an Internet of Things (IoT) interface port to integrate and control IoT devices. This enables Mist to bridge the physical, location and connectivity realms, unlocking value from your network.

Best Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE Performance

In addition to delivering the best Wi-Fi range and performance, Mist Access Points have a dynamic vBLE 16 element antenna array for the industry’s most accurate and scalable location services.

Data Collection, Analysis and Enforcement

Mist Access Points are purpose-built to collect metadata for over 150 states that allows the cloud-based AI engine to perform analytics, machine learning, location service and event correlation. APs incorporate a 3rd radio for always-on security monitoring and troubleshooting.

Using open APIs for full automation and seamless integration, the Mist platform is 100% programmable in addition to complementary products. With real-time user capability, Mist effectively captures packets the moment an event takes place. Users can rewind to see any user’s state at any point in time.

With simple resource assignment and prioritization, Mist lets you assign and prioritize your servers and printers to Wi-Fi users with a single click or pre-assigned policies. WxLAN customarily classifies users, IoT devices, and mobiles to secure and compute traffic. AI is the answer, and Mist is designed with AI in mind.
