IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2 AP’s: Cisco, Aruba, Ruckus

5 February 2016

One of Cisco’s higher-end Aironet 3700 Series, Model 3702i, was included in some of the tests to
compare the performance of the Aironet 1852i with a higher-end AP. The 3702i, a Wave 1 AP,
supports 4x4 MIMO with three spatial streams, 80-MHz channels, and PHY data rates up to 1.3
Gbps with Cisco High Density Experience (HDX). HDX is a suite of technologies which allows for
enhanced performance in challenging highly dense environments. Radio support provides
backward compatibility with 802.11 a, b, g and n devices.

Aruba

The Aruba Access Point tested, the AP-325, is a model of Aruba’s AP-320 Series that also features
integrated antennas.

The Aruba AP-325 has radios supporting IEEE 802.11 a, b, g and n, as well as 802.11ac Wave 2. In
the Wave 2 environment, the AP-325 supports 4x4 Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) with three
spatial streams, and four spatial streams with Single-User MIMO (SU-MIMO). The device
contains eight integral down-tilt, omni-directional antennas.

Ruckus

The Ruckus ZoneFlex R710 Access Point was chosen for this comparative performance testing.
Like the other APs tested, the R710 supports Single-User and Multi-User operation (SU-MIMO
and MU-MIMO). Four spatial streams are supported for Single-User MIMO; three spatial streams
with Wave 2’s Multi-User MIMO. And as with the other APs tested, the R710 also supports all the
leading predecessor WiFi specifications.
