Juniper Networks Wi-Fi Mini-Physical Interface Module – expansion module

The Wi-Fi Mini-Physical Interface Module (Mini-PIM) for branch SRX Series Services Gateways provides a branch-in-a-box solution (which includes an SRX Series device, LTE, and wi-fi) for retail and small office deployments. The Mini-PIM has an embedded enterprise-class wireless system-on-chip (SOC) that supports the 802.11ac Wave 2 wireless standards. The Mini-PIM is backward-compatible with 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n.

Provides concurrent dual bands of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. The radios operate in any one of the supported radio modes. You can configure each radio to support connectivity from one type of client or different types of clients.

Allows you to segment the WLAN into multiple broadcast domains that are the wireless equivalent of Ethernet VLANs. A single access point is segregated into multiple individual VAPs, simulating multiple access points in a single system.

Enables you to configure the transmit power for each radio on a percentage basis. By default, the Mini-PIM assigns 100 percent power to each radio at startup to provide maximum coverage.

The Mini-PIM supports the following authentication methods: Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) Personal, which includes AES-CCMP with preshared key authentication; WPA Enterprise, which includes AES-CCMP with RADIUS server authentication; MAC authentication, where wireless clients are allowed or denied network access based on their MAC address.
