Network connection guidelines for Desktop Web and RDS access
These are guidelines only, since actual requirements are difficult to exactly determine, and availability can vary depending on location and number of devices connecting though each link.
Applicable to:
- Client computers connecting to TMS 1.0, CDMS 1.0 etc. RDP applications
- Web clients connecting to our web services such as Live (Notifications, Trip-TMS) and CDMS 2.0
- Desktop computers, and mobile devices connecting to these services
Minimum requirement
Any fixed, Wi-Fi or Mobile/cellular connection that has a bandwidth of at least 20 Mb/s download and upload for a single computer.
Calculating for multiple computers or devices
As more computers and/or mobile devices are added, a faster connection will be required, but this is not simply calculated by multiplying the above 20Mb/s by the number of computers. This would result in significantly over-specifying the requirements for the link.
For a site up to 10 computers a link of approximately 100MB/s should be sufficient. Beyond this it is recommended to engage the assistance of your internet provider or a networking expert to design appropriate infrastructure.
Mobile Devices
Minimum hardware and operating system requirements for mobile devices running Containerchain mobile software.
