Huawei AP7110 WLAN Access Point Rate/Range Performance Evaluation vs. Cisco Aironet 3602i AP


Today Tolly (www.tolly.com), the leading global provider of hands-on IT research, published an 802.11n WLAN Performance Evaluation of the Huawei AP7110 WLAN Access Point versus the Cisco Aironet 3602i AP.      

Huawei commissioned Tolly to validate the performance of its AP7110 WLAN AP with 3x3:3 MIMO capabilities and compare that to the Cisco Systems 4x4:3 MIMO-based AP. In tests of a single-client, the Huawei AP7110 outperformed the Cisco Aironet 3602i AP in every test scenario.

Huawei AP7110 WLAN Access Point provides:
  1. 23% higher average single-client throughput at 5 ft distance than Cisco Aironet 3602i AP
  2. Maximum single-client downstream TCP throughput of 281Mbps over the 5GHz band
  3. Better coverage performance with higher average downstream single-client throughput from all tested distances (5 ft to 60 ft) compared to Cisco Aironet 3602i AP
