13. Competitive Testing Highlights
How does R500 compare to 7372?
2.4GHz difference is minimal between 7372 and R500
5GHz – R500 benefit is observable in both 11n and 11ac clients
R500 versus Aruba AP-205
R500 outperforms Aruba 205 in majority of test cases
Performance difference greater in uplink, especially in high density 11ac testing
R500 versus Aerohive AP 230 (3x3)
R500 11ac performance is notably better than the Aerohive AP 230, despite having one less spatial stream!
