Cisco Global Internet Speed Test GIST
by Cisco Systems, Inc. Released: May 9, 2011 Require: BlackBerry OS
Cisco GIST allows you to measure your connection speeds over your cellular provider based on your location and network access speed at the time of a test. Whether you re a diehard BlackBerry® fanatic or a recent BlackBerry inductee, this new application from Cisco will help you quickly understand the "gist" of what your phone is capable of at any given time. This application will also enable you to compare your cellular speeds with other BlackBerry users around the world.
Speed tests are performed by downloading a known quantity of data from a server nearest to your location. Cisco GIST is now hosted on the Akamai EdgePlatorm, a network of over 48,000 secure servers worldwide. This allows Cisco GIST to provide more accurate speed test results wherever you are in the worldwide network.
