Field Survey of Communication Speeds for Two WiMAX Mobile Routers at 14 Locations in Shinjuku

Survey Results: WiMAX Router Communication Speeds in Shinjuku

All-Connect Magazine, a communications media platform operated by ALL CONNECT, has conducted a real-world survey of communication speeds for two WiMAX mobile routers—'HYBRID Wi-Fi 5G NC03' and 'Speed Wi-Fi DOCK 5G 01'—at 14 locations throughout the Shinjuku area.

### Survey Overview - **Target Area**: 14 locations in Shinjuku (including station entrances, commercial areas, underground malls, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building). - **Date and Time**: May 11 and May 18, 2026. - **Devices Used**: iPhone 15 (two devices measured simultaneously). - **Methodology**: Simultaneous measurement of download, upload, and Ping speeds using 'Speedtest by Ookla'.

### Key Findings The survey confirmed clear differences in performance characteristics based on the device model.

- **Average Download Speed**: The NC03 recorded an average of 134.1 Mbps, making it approximately 5.6 times faster than the DOCK, which averaged 23.8 Mbps. - **Upload and Ping**: For upload speeds, the DOCK (15.9 Mbps) slightly outperformed the NC03 (13.7 Mbps). Furthermore, the DOCK showed a trend toward lower latency in Ping tests compared to the NC03. - **Location-based Variability**: The speed of the NC03 varied by up to 21 times depending on the location, demonstrating a significant impact of the communication environment.

Note: These results are reference values based on best-effort delivery. Actual speeds may vary depending on base station congestion and other environmental factors.
