Juniper Networks, a leader in secure, AI-driven networking, has unveiled new additions to its flagship wired access portfolio, designed to support businesses of all sizes in scaling IT operations, managing risks, and advancing their digital transformation goals. The latest Juniper Networks® EX4000 Series Switches incorporate a cutting-edge AI- and cloud-native architecture, providing unparalleled wired and wireless experiences with benefits such as rapid deployment, minimal downtime, Zero Trust security, reduced operational costs, and smooth migration to Wi-Fi 7.
The EX4000 Series is engineered to meet the needs of modern enterprise environments, offering a versatile range of form factors and competitive pricing, including several noiseless models. These switches allow more locations—such as retail stores, healthcare clinics, campuses, and branch offices—to harness the power of AI for networking, which has been shown to result in up to 85% reductions in OPEX, 90% fewer network incidents, and 85% fewer truck rolls for onsite troubleshooting.
Rapid Deployment and Simplified Configuration with Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP)
Juniper Networks accelerates deployment with Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP), enabling hands-free configuration of the EX4000 Series. This feature leverages flexible templates that support rapid deployment at scale, ensuring minimal errors. IT teams can also streamline setup through the Mist AI™ mobile application, which lets them scan QR codes to quickly claim, name, and assign switches in just minutes.
Streamlined Operations with Mist AI and AIOps
The EX4000 Series is fully compatible with the Mist AI portfolio, which offers an array of AIOps capabilities. These include the Marvis® Virtual Network Assistant, which provides conversational support, self-driving operations, and proactive issue resolution with Marvis Minis. In addition, dynamic packet capture (dPCAP) enables rapid detection and resolution of wired and wireless issues, significantly reducing the need for truck rolls. The solution’s automated workflows ensure that issues are identified and remediated quickly.

Ensuring Maximum Uptime with Perpetual Power over Ethernet (PPoE)
The EX4000 Series delivers Power over Ethernet (PoE) across all ports, providing reliable power to Wi-Fi 7 access points, IoT devices, and other critical infrastructure. With rapid boot times of just minutes, the switches are ideal for enterprise-wide rollouts and offer swift recovery from outages. The Juniper Mist™ cloud’s microservices architecture supports frequent feature rollouts without disrupting service, enhancing operational agility and network resilience.
Cost-Effective, Scalable Connectivity for Wi-Fi 7 Deployment
The EX4000 Series offers multigigabit connectivity options with 12, 24, or 48 ports and supports 802.3bt PoE++ (up to 60W). An innovative virtual chassis design minimizes the need for expensive rewiring as customers expand their networks with next-generation devices, making the platform an ideal solution for high-density environments. When paired with Juniper® AP47 High-Performance Access Points and Mist AI, enterprises can leverage the full potential of Wi-Fi 7 while ensuring a smooth, cost-efficient transition to next-gen wireless technology.
Built-In Zero Trust Security for Enhanced Protection
With Juniper Mist Access Assurance, the EX4000 Series offers always-on authentication, authorization, and identification, ensuring that only trusted devices and users can access the network. By automating policy enforcement and validation, Access Assurance simplifies the traditionally complex task of implementing Zero Trust architectures at scale, making it easier for organizations to secure their networks.
Energy-Efficient Design for Sustainable Operations
The EX4000 Series is designed to meet global sustainability targets, incorporating energy-saving features like intelligent fan speed adjustment and automatic PoE deactivation when ports are inactive. These features help organizations optimize energy consumption while advancing their environmental goals.
Accelerating Success with Juniper AI Advanced Care Professional Services
