SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 20, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mist Systems, a Juniper Networks company and a pioneer in AI-driven networking and a leader in secure AI-driven networks, today announced that has it been named a Visionary in the 2020 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Indoor Location Services, Global for the second consecutive year. In this most recent Gartner report, Juniper Mist is a Visionary and had the best placement in completeness of vision relative to other vendors.

The Mist solution is continuing to gain traction among top companies worldwide with over 150% year-over-year growth and three of the Fortune 10 as customers.
“Through Gartner inquiries, clients have noted the need to provide a single framework that integrates multiple technologies to solve multiple location issues, while eliminating redundancy and providing a lower overall cost.” Additionally, Gartner notes that, “For the second consecutive year, our customer reference survey supports that trend, with over 75% of respondents reporting that they have multiple location use cases.”1
