From classrooms to shipyards to fintech, why Malaysian enterprises are turning to Juniper’s Mist AI-native networking solutions
As Malaysia strides into the next era of digital transformation, driven by MyDIGITAL, IR4.0 and AI-powered public services, one question quietly determines whether our ambitions succeed or stall: Can our networks keep up?
At the upcoming ASEAN AI Malaysia Summit (12–13 August), Juniper Networks will show why traditional networks aren’t enough and how businesses can tap into Mist AI-native networking to drive real results.
Built for Business Impact, Not Just IT Teams
Recently named a Leader for the fifth time in the 2025 Gartner™ Magic Quadrant® for Enterprise Wired and Wireless LAN Infrastructure, Juniper Networks’ MistAI-native networking platform is fast transforming businesses across Malaysia.
Mist AI doesn’t just automate routine tasks. It proactively detects, diagnoses, and resolves issues before they impact users, reducing trouble tickets by up to 90%, slashing operational costs by 85%, and ensuring lightning-fast deployment. Think of it like having a virtual IT expert monitoring and optimising your connection 24/7, so organisations can focus on what matters most without worrying about network lag.
“Mist AI is like having a virtual network expert on call 24/7. It’s about better visibility, faster fixes, and fewer headaches,” says Preman Padmanabhan, Head of Networks at PayNet.”
Proof Points from Malaysia: From Fintech to Fabrication Yards
PayNet: Powering Malaysia’s Cashless Future
As Malaysia’s central payments operator, PayNet processes over RM1 trillion in annual transactions. But its legacy IT setup couldn’t support hybrid work and rapid digitalisation. With Mist AI and Marvis (Juniper’s AI-driven assistant), PayNet revamped its campus network.
Now, PayNet can see everything happening on its network in real time, with automatic alerts and helpful insights. This means problems get solved faster, often before they cause disruptions. It’s also easier to bring in new tech staff, guest Wi-Fi works automatically, and everyday IT issues take much less time to fix.
“A Juniper Mist network is a paradigm shift. If a user has a connectivity issue, we can see what’s happening in the Mist dashboard and fix it quickly,” said Preman.
MHB: Smart Shipyards That Run on AI
Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering (MHB) manages one of Southeast Asia’s largest fabrication yards. However, outdated, paper-heavy processes cause long delays.
By deploying Juniper’s Mist AI-native Wi-Fi across 500 acres, MHB digitised everything from equipment checks to job approvals. The result? Faster project cycles and more ships processed per month.
