Abstract

Driven by growth in the number of mobile workers, Wi-Fi (802.11n) now provides the primary office connectivity for many businesses. Higher per-client AP throughput at greater distances can reduce the number of APs required in a given location and thus, lower the customer’s investment in WLAN hardware.

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
