Multiple test runs were conducted to measure
the throughput performance of all the phones.
the throughput performance of all the phones.
The average was taken of two test runs, per
AP, for each of the five phones at one table.
This was then repeated with the five phones at
the second table. Then an average of two test
runs for all ten phones was taken.

The clients were all Apple's latest iPhone 6. Ten
of the iPhone 6 phones were deployed outside
on two tables, five per table, with a good line-of-
sight access to the AP. One table was situated
at 350 feet from the AP, the other at 500 feet, as
shown in the diagram to the right.

The iPhones were set at vertical and horizontal
orientations (see below). The tables and phones
were positioned at various angles to mimic a real
world scenario, with fairly good signal conditions
at each location.

Outperforming outdoors.
The average downlink
throughput per iPhone 6 is
shown for: 1) five phones at
500 feet, 2) five phones at
350 feet and 3) all ten
phones operating at the
same time. The Cisco
Aironet 1572 effectively
delivers double the per-client
throughput of the Aruba
AP-275 and the Ruckus
T300 for the phones at
500 feet, and with all phones
operating concurrently.
