Dear nostra,

these values are theoretical value, acutal data transmission rate is decided by many factors, for example, system bandwidth, UE resource allocation, wireless channel quality and so on.

Thank you for the response.
What about testing bandwidth or throughput? I mean, if I want to validate the end to end network, can I do this using using Ping or TCP or UDP or HTTP or FTP etc?

Dear nostra，

Please connect module to PC with USB device, and then install iperf tool to measure data rate and thoughput under TCP or UDP mode.
thanks

Can you please point us to a document on how to run that? I could find how to send and receive a message via TCP or UDP but no luck with using it to measure the throughput!
