The requirements give planning numbers. Agent Desktop Plus and the Plus adapters are 128 kbps. The Java agent is 88 kbps. Agent Assist adds about 12 kbps. A VPN adds about 64. CRM or other business apps add about 64. A UC client such as Teams, Zoom, Office@Hand, RingCentral, or Nextiva is called out around 320 kbps.

One-way latency should stay under 150 ms. Wi-Fi is acceptable when the bandwidth is actually there. Wired is preferred. Satellite is not supported. Cellular and 5G are not supported. Those are support statements, not opinions.

Troubleshooting. The link is a medium the PDF does not support. Change the network, not the campaign.

Cross-platform bridge. A mapping to another PBX or contact center is a teaching bridge. It is not an import button.

Future hook. The guide's cloud endpoint stays unset. Confirm before relying on a dated catalog or a case-study number.
