MIST EDGE
Extending the power of Mist’s microservices cloud to the campus brings
agility and scale while enabling new applications at the network edge.

MIST LEARNING WLAN


MIST LEARNING WLAN
Mist has brought true innovation to the wireless space with the
world’s first AI-driven Wireless LAN (WLAN).
The Mist Learning WLAN makes Wi-Fi predictable, reliable and
measurable with unprecedented visibility into the user experience
through customizable Service Level Expectation (SLE) metrics.
Resource taxing manual IT tasks are replaced with AI-driven
proactive automation and self-healing, lowering Wi-Fi operational
costs and saving substantial time and money.
Mist also brings enterprise-grade Wi-Fi, Bluetooth® Low Energy
(BLE) and IoT together so businesses can increase the value of
their wireless networks through personalized location services,
such as wayfinding, proximity notifications, and asset location.
With Mist’s patented virtual BLE (vBLE) technology, no battery
beacons or manual calibration are required.
All operations are managed via Mist’s open and programmable
microservices cloud architecture. This delivers maximum scalability
and performance while also bringing DevOps agility to wireless
networking and location services.

THE MIST CLOUD


The Mist Cloud leverages a microservices architecture in order
to bring unparalleled agility, scale and resiliency to your network.
It leverages an AI engine to lower operational costs and deliver Mist Edge is deployed as a standalone appliance with multiple

ME-X5 5,000 50,000 20 Gbps
• the BT11 that supports Bluetooth LE [CR/LF]
These access points are all built on a real-time microservices ME-X5-M 5,000 50,000 40 Gbps
platform and are managed by the Mist Cloud.

MIST EDGE ME-X10 10,000 100,000 40 Gbps


Some microservices require specific functions be handled on-
premises, whether due to bandwidth, latency or architecture
requirements. Mist Edge extends select microservices to the
customer premises while using the Mist cloud and its distributed
software architecture for scalable and resilient operations,
management, troubleshooting, and analytics. Now customers
have the flexibility to deploy a hybrid architecture that extends
processing and artificial intelligence to the network edge.
Key benefits of the Mist Edge architecture include:
• Agility to develop and deploy new microservices rapidly
• Scalable platform to meet demands of small to large
campuses
• Simple to deploy and manage with zero-touch configuration
and cloud management

TUNNELING MICROSERVICE
One of the microservices available on the Mist Edge platform SPECIFICATIONS
is a tunneling service. This service enables customers to make a
seamless transition from their existing centralized data plane with ME-X1: Dual Port 1GbE (Data) & Dual Port 1GbE
legacy controller architectures to the modern Mist microservices ME-X5: Dual Port 10GbE SFP+ (Data)

The Access Points leverage standards-based L2TPv3 technology
& Dual Port 10GbE SFP+
to tunnel traffic to/from Mist Edge for selected WLANs. This
ME-X10: Quad Port 10GbE SFP+ (Data)
provides the network design flexibility to leverage a combination

of distributed and centralized data planes, where needed to meet
the customer requirements. A deployment with Mist Edge can ME-X1: Single, Cabled Power Supply, 250W

Several of the common use cases for the tunneling microservice Enterprise, please contact your local Mist partner or representative
include: who can help you architect your next generation network.
• Seamless roaming for large campus networks through on-
premises tunnel termination of traffic to/from access points
• Split tunneling for guest access and corporate traffic
• Dynamic traffic segmentation for IoT devices
• Extending virtual LANs (VLANs) to distributed branches and
telecommuters to replace remote virtual private network
(VPN) technology

HIGH AVAILABILITY AND CLUSTERING


Mist Edge supports an elastically scalable cluster (with options
for backup clusters) composed of an unlimited number of nodes
within a cluster. The Mist Edge cluster design for the tunneling
microservice is guided by the aggregate capacity considerations
for number of access points, clients and throughput expectations.
