Overview:

Cisco GIST allows you to measure your mobile connection speeds over cellular or wi-fi (if applicable) networks based on your location and download speed at the time of a test. Whether you’re a diehard Android fanatic or a recent Android inductee, this new application from Cisco will help you quickly understand the “gist” of what your device is capable of at any given time. This application will also enable you to compare your cellular and wi-fi speeds with other Android users around the world.
