SureSignal 3 bandwidth requirements

[UPM]

The Vodafone forum guidance is misleading, the forum advice claims SS3's requires a slightly higher speed that earlier versions 1 & 2, when in fact it needs more than 4 times the download bandwidth, just to handle 1 call. For 1 to 8 calls SS3's requires a minimum of 4.13Mbps Download and a minimum of 1.5Mbps Upload speed.The forum also suggests that to have 8 calls running at the onetime you will need 4.13 down when in fact this is the minimum you will need even for just the 1 call. Vodafone should make this fact clear in sales literature. This bandwidth requirement calls into question the viability of the SS boosters in rural locations where ADSL speeds and mobile coverage are generally poor.

I would guess, looking at the stats, that the upload speed is potentially a little on the low side.

I can only reconfirm what Mark has advised.

The minimum download speed we advise is 4.13Mbps and at least 0.33 upload speed.

If you have any technical issues with your Sure Signal, please let us know.

Should have mentioned that the following is the situation with BT, which is what Eclipse are reselling.

BT Wholesale on its ADSL products has two main upstream speeds 448 Kbps and 832 Kbps.

So neither of these is actually close to the minimum requirements of the SS3 device.

We have had to ditch ADSL / ADSL2+ at other busy offices and move to fibre ADSL to allow the SS3 devices to work.
