Juniper Networks announces intent to acquire MIST Systems

March 2019 by Marc Jacob

Juniper Networks announced that the company has entered
into a definitive agreement to acquire Mist Systems, a pioneer in cloud-managed wireless
networks powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI). The deal will enhance Juniper’s
enterprise networking portfolio by combining Mist’s next-generation Wireless LAN
(WLAN) platform with Juniper’s best-in-class wired LAN, SD-WAN and security solutions
to deliver unsurpassed end-to-end user and IT experiences.

Under the terms of the agreement, Juniper Networks will acquire Mist for aggregate
consideration of $405 million, subject to adjustment, payable in cash and the assumption
of outstanding equity awards. The proposed acquisition is expected to close in Juniper
Networks’ fiscal second quarter, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing
conditions. It is expected to be slightly dilutive to FY’19 Non-GAAP EPS and slightly
accretive to Non-GAAP EPS in FY’20.

Mist has built the world’s first AI-driven wireless platform, which makes Wi-Fi more
predictable, reliable and measurable. Mist has also developed the networking industry’s
only AI-driven virtual assistant, Marvis, to simplify wireless troubleshooting and provide
unprecedented insight into client and network behavior. In addition, Mist uses patented
virtual Bluetooth® LE technology in conjunction with Wi-Fi and IoT to deliver scalable
and cost-effective location-based wireless services to customers, such as indoor
wayfinding, proximity notifications, traffic analytics and asset tracking. All operations are
managed via Mist’s modern cloud microservices architecture for maximum scalability,
agility and performance. As a result, Mist is quickly becoming the WLAN standard for
enterprise customers across numerous industries, including two of the Fortune 10, seven
of the top 40 retailers, the flagship facility at the US’s largest healthcare system, one of
the top mobile carriers and one of the world’s largest airlines.

The acquisition will expand Juniper’s presence in the rapidly growing cloud-managed
segment of the wireless networking market. Further, the deal enables Juniper to extend
cloud-based management and end-to-end AI-driven visibility (“AI for IT”) across the endto-
end enterprise network (from access to the WAN) to offer an industry-leading,
software-defined and highly differentiated solution for simplifying operations, improving
user experience and lowering total cost of ownership (TCO).
