Wi-Fi Mini-Physical Interface Module Overview
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.
The Mini-PIM supports the following key features:
•
2x2 MU-MIMO—Enables transmission of data to multiple clients simultaneously.
•
Dual radios—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.
•
Virtual access points (VAPs)—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.
